It was a shame to leave Udaipur, but there was still plenty to explore in Rajastan including the temple of Rankpur on the way to Jodhpur (That's right where the trousers are from) Arriving at the temple we found the monkeys to have the run of the place. Like thew cow, monkeys are also sacred animals in India.
The Hindu temple of Rankpur was built in 1439 and contains 1,444 stone carved pillars, each unique.
