An early morning walk down Pilgrim Road Mt. Abu

Last night the temperature must have fallen a great extent, the field around my house were covered with thick frost. The frost on the scooter seats were a sight to witness. I picked up my camera and headed for a walk down the old Pilgrim road, this was the road used by the Jain and other pilgrims. It is the road that leads to the world famous Delaware Temples and then on to Achalgarh and Gurushikar where there are temples that are also regularly visited by the devotees. I remember walking as a kid all the way to Gurushikar when the road leading to this place was only a pathway or rightly called a Pilgrims Road.
Today all roads that lead to Abu are tarred ones, the present Pilgrim road is also now known as the Neel Kant Road (literal translation would be Blue Pussy Road). This road today especially during the season period is far for from representing a Pilgrim Road it’s more of a Highway where vehicles ply bumper to bumper.
Have A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SNAPS I TOOK OF OUR FIRST FROST OF THE SEASON.


 Frost even after 8 am
