Tour Itinerary
Modhera Sun Temple, one of the most stunning... 2 hours
Modhera Sun Temple, one of the most stunning examples of Hindu architecture in India. The temple was built in the 11th century during the reign of King Bhimdev I of the Solanki dynasty. Your guide will provide you with insights into the history and significance of the temple as you explore its intricate carvings and stunning architecture. As you enter the temple complex, you'll be greeted by a large stepwell known as the Surya Kund, which was built to store water for the temple. The stepwell is adorned with over 1000 sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses, as well as animals and celestial beings. The sculptures are intricately carved and represent the high level of craftsmanship that was present during the Solanki era. At the center of the complex is the main temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu sun god, Surya. The temple is designed in such a way that during the equinoxes, the first rays of the rising sun illuminate the idol of Surya in the sanctum sanctorum.
As you approach Rani Ki Vav, you'll see... 2 hours
As you approach Rani Ki Vav, you'll see a grand entrance that leads to a flight of steps that take you down to the stepwell. The stepwell is about 64 meters long, 20 meters wide, and over 27 meters deep, with seven levels of steps adorned with more than 500 sculptures. The sculptures depict Hindu gods and goddesses, mythological scenes, and scenes from everyday life.
Run by the award-winning Salvi family, this museum... 1 hour
Run by the award-winning Salvi family, this museum is an excellent place to see Patola silk weaving in action. The family has specialised in double-ikat weaving (a process that their ancestors brought from Southeast Asia) since the 11th century – yes, you've read this correctly! – and you can get a demonstration on the loom and compare the family's craft, including an elephant-motif sari that is considered the family masterpiece, with beautifully displayed single-ikat textiles from around the world.
