Haldighati is an important historical site in the context of Rajasthan, India. Actually, Haldighati is a mountain pass in the Aravalli range connecting districts of Rajsamand and Pali in Rajasthan. The place is at a comfortable distance of 40 kms from the city of Udaipur. The term Haldighati has been derived from the yellow colored soil of the place that gives a sense of turmeric (in Hindi, turmeric is called as 'Haldi' and valley is known as' Ghati').
If you are interested in historic battles and heroic deeds of the courageous soldiers, then Haldighati is the perfect place to visit. Haldighati is a significant historical site that has observed the battle of 1576. The battle of Haldighati was a huge combat between Rana Pratap Singh of Mewar and Raja Man Singh of Amber. This ferocious battle created amount of blood shed of the heroic soldiers and the red turned color of sand still speaks of those daring people.
Haldighati extends as a thrilling tourist attraction that flares the merciless battlefield. A single thought of those courageous soldiers standing on the exact lands where they fought, send chills down one's spine. Haldi Ghati captures major attention because the terra firma made the battlefield to the legend, Maharana Rana Pratap and his loyal horse, Chetak. The place gives a nostalgic feeling as this was the same place where Chetak, the heroic mount of Rana Pratap, breathed his last after leaving his master to a safe place.
At a distance of around 4 kms from the battlefield, a cenotaph (chattri) is built in pure white marble. This cenotaph is dedicated to the gallant horse Chetak as a sign of respect and admiration. The bloody battle of Haldighati has been captured an inescapable place in the History of India. The battle has been known since ages in murals and ballads. In the words of Col. James Todd (a British author), Haldighati has been referred as 'Thermopile of Mewar'.

The word Shri Pashupatinath is derived from three Sanskrit words: "pashu" means organism, "pati" means protector, and "nath" means Lord. The word "Shree" is an honorary title used in Nepali/Hindi languages as a display of respect or devotion. Shree Pashupatinath, therefore, means the Respected Protector and Lord of all living things. The Deity in Mandsaur MP
Pashupatinath is an avatar of Shiva, one of the Hindu Trinities. He is also the male counterpart of Shakti. The five faces of Pashupatinath are five amongst various incarnations of Shiva viz. Sadyojata (also known as Varun), Vamdeva (also known as Uma Maheswara), Tatpurusha, Aghor & Ishana facing West, North, East, South and Zenith respectively. These represent five primary elements namely earth, water, air, light and ether. Puranas describe these faces of Shiva as “Sadyojata, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha & Ishana are the four faces, The fifth is Ishana, unknowable even to the seers” The statue of the four conditions of human life - childhood, youth, old age, live Prodavstha and have been marking.
