Namaste History

Namaste! A term of greeting or gratitude. Roughly translated from Sanskrit it comes to "I bow before the divine in you". When you say namaste (like in thanking your teacher at the end of a yoga class) you press your palms together (also called Anjali mudra) at your heart and bow your head.Let's greet new places together. Let's greet history together. Let's bow our heads. Let's acknowledge what we don't remember. Let's visit, and revisit.

Chunda palace is part of the heritage of one of the noble houses from the Mewar kingdom. Conceived as a traditional Rajasthani palace, Chunda palace showcases the rich culture of the Mewar region. The palace took 16 years to construct and believe me, each of those 16 seems worth it when you visit. You could visit for a traditional Lal-Maas meal or stay at the Chunda Palace and swim in the infinity pool of the royals. Go explore! ------------------------------------------------------------------- @chunda_palace #chundapalace #chundapalaceudaipur #udaipur #mewar #rajasthan #royals #rajasthanroyals #architecture #art #infinitypool #laalmaas #gattekasaag #thingofbeauty #padharomharedes #NamasteHistory

While Helsinki isn't on most tourists' list, and maybe rightly so. It hides some incredible history in the Suomenlinna fortress. If you are around for even a few hours, take the short ferry out to the Baltic sea naval base to find out about the fortress that kept the Russians out for centuries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- #helsinki #suomenlinna #travel #Finland #saturday #layoverlife #quicktrip #adventure #urbanhiking #summer

A Flat-top mountains or Mesa are a common feature across the south-western United States. The ancient ancestral Anasazi people build hidden villages and grand cities on top of these. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #desert #desertlove #driveAmerica #thelostcity #valleyoffirestatepark #photooftheday  #nature #adventure #explore #naturelovers #naturephotography #instanature#mothernature #nevada #Vegas #ourplanetdaily #optoutside #findyourpark  #LasVegas #hopi #anasazi #navajo (at Moapa Paiute Indian Reservation,I-15 Nevada)

A miniature model of the Pueblo style housing used by the ancient ancestral Anasazi people. They lived all across the vast inhospitable desert of South-western United States and build grand cities on top of flat-topped (Mesa) mountains. A thriving culture until the European invasion of the area. Now, only tourists in SUVs pollute their land. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #desert #desertlove #driveAmerica #thelostcity #valleyoffirestatepark #photooftheday  #nature #adventure #explore #naturelovers #naturephotography #instanature#mothernature #nevada #Vegas #ourplanetdaily #optoutside #findyourpark  #LasVegas #hopi #anasazi #navajo (at Lost City Museum)

Four thousand years old sketches on the rock faces made by the ancestors of the south-western native American tribes, the Hopi and the Navajo. The carvings are located in the middle of extremely inhospitable yet incredibly beautiful landscape where sub-groups of tribes came together for periodic meet-ups and tribal religious conferences. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #desert #desertlove #driveAmerica #Valleyoffire #valleyoffirestatepark #photooftheday  #nature #adventure #explore #naturelovers #naturephotography #instanature #mothernature #nevada #Vegas #ourplanetdaily #optoutside #findyourpark  #LasVegas #petroglyph #nativeamerican #anasazi #hopi #navajo (at Mouse's Tank)
