Article Todgarh the Peaceful Hill Station of Rajasthan
Todgarh seems to be a name of the ancient fort having a great historical background but to the surprise of the visitors it is a splendid town of Rajasthan previously known by the name Boraswara. Being occupied by the tribal's of the region it was not much developed and away from popularity. But with the arrival of British officer called James Tod the region was transformed into a most popular tourist destination of Rajasthan. Actually it was the beauty of the place which mesmerized Tod to convert it into a well planned city tucked on the heights of Aravalis. In order to honour these great efforts of the British officer this city was named Todgarh. Considering the treasures of wildlife available in the vicinity of Todgarh it was declared as a reserved area safeguarding the presence of variety of animals as well as beautiful bird life.
One of the places of interest from the tourist point of view is the Dudhaleshwar Mahadev temple, which is tucked on the boundary of the Todgarh Raoli wildlife sanctuary. This ancient temple dating back to prehistoric times is said to be five hundred years old. Normally pilgrims arriving here take a dip in the kund or the holes in the spring, which is supposed to be a religious ritual. This is one of the ecotourism spots of the region in this sanctuary, which is renowned as one of the biggest National parks of Rajasthan. Raoli is the beautiful village and a must visit place from where you can get panoramic views of the surrounding region. This region which once served as the hunting grounds of the British is blessed with sandy planes, dense forests, rivers, mountains and deep valleys.
