Recently I had the pleasure of going to Mount Abu, via Ahmedabad, and was lucky enough to see various sites on the road that fell between them.
I'd taken up a small hashtag project.
I'd sketch one sketch, wherever I went everyday.
I called this #10SketchesfromWestIndia, and this was active on Instagram for more the 10 days of my trip. Here are all the sketches.
On Instagram, they can be found here:

Gravity makes everything look organic! As the third of my #10sketchesfromWestIndia here's one from Ajmer Intercity Express.

| For the 4th sketch from my #10sketchesfromWestIndia, here is one from the picturesque hills of Mount Abu, characterised by mellow sunlight, soothing winds and quite a few beautifully constructed places on the slopes! |

This one's at Hotel Hilltone, Mount Abu

A multi faceted and intricate diamond was in the basement of the main chamber, which reflected sunlight to illuminate the entire temple court room - giving it the name.
Allauddin Khilji, a Mughal invaded this temple in the 11th century, destroyed a few intricate statues and took away the diamond, also destroying parts of the temple.
However, it is still said that there is wealth at the basement chamber that is sealed away. There are 2 secret pathways to nearby villages.

And that's a wrap!
This time, it's me, drawing myself.
