3:50, a Chinese monk xuang zang visited india during that period in 602AD. He has wrote an extensive book of his journey to india under Gupta Empire and he studied buddhism in Nalanda University of India for a decade translating Sanskrit to Chinese language. Gupta Empire was the golden period of india.
Any info about the Chinese translate version?
Gupta dynasty was in reality during the 3rd century BCE. Many people have erred in interpreting the records.

Scriptures say these forts are timeless and billions of years old. Made with the blessings and guidance of the gods. In previous yugas. It goes way way way too back into antiquity
Indian media and academia are all extensions of the American and western counterparts and were established by East India company. They do their best along with western system to bury anything that proves Hindu antiquity or that gives life to Hindu mythology or the the belief that Hindus are billions of years old .
This single video is more than enough to tell the world how advance india was... especially to those who think mughal were the architect of india. Actually they were the destroyer of india.
We elect corrupt politicians as leaders. How can Indians be advanced then??
Indians themselves had no unity before the foreign invasion + the caste system was brutal here. These things destroyed India.
This video needs lots of views. As an Indian i feel shame that I did not know about this place. Thanks to you now I know. There are actually so many places which needs attention but its not happening.
Less awareness ,many people still didn't get out of own State, people busy in own Life and no such adventure or travel interest
I am from Mumbai India 🇮🇳 and never heard of this fort before. India is such an incredible country. It's a shame that our tourism department doesn't work enough to promote such unique marvels and attractions. Thank you for sharing this Gabriel 🙏 ❤
Gabriel is unhinged! :)) Nobody in their right mind would dare explore the Northern parts of India under the broiling Indian sun during the months of April to June.
Except maybe Jar Jar Binks.
I did this, in April/May 2008, it was brutal but I saw it as a rite of passage.
Yea that fist breath. When it hurts ya know it's Hot. Thats what happened to me anyway n im thinking How do people live in this heat n i grew up up n down in California, n then moved to Las Vegas Nevada. But that was back in 1990 or 91. In
I second you.... It's like Gabby has no respect for his own health! 😭
Yousa right Jar Jar. Itssa lotta hot climate here 🥵
U discovered something which I never knew existed in this part of India incredible art and history what a find great job Gabriel. There is so much unexplored place in india need to be known, all the best from Atlanta 🇺🇲
Perhaps, We Indian don't have any respect for our great culture, religion and civilization, that is destroyed by मलेच्छा Muslims, and they r thret for hindu dharm and our mother land.
Even We Indians don't know
Absolutely. I stay in Bangalore, but ashamed , to know about this place from u . Not yet seen this place. India is full of places like this. Olden days kings built like this type of temples, filled with art. Thank u sir

India is just endless with what you can explore, that’s why it’s my favourite place to travel along with Central Asia! Also greatest food in the world hands down, can’t wait to go back someday
This is just one of the hundreds of extraordinary temples & Fort architecture in India. You must visit Ellora.
A monkey sitting right beside it's own revered form Hanuman is quite a niche thing to see. Wonderful vlog as always!!

Location: Bundelkhand, in Panna District of Madhya Pradesh, in India
History of Kalinjar Fort
Built in 5th century
Built by Bhar Shivas, Chandellas and Marathas. It was built by Chandela ruler Paramaditya Dev
Materials: Granite Stones
Battles/wars: Mahmud of Ghazni 1023, Sher Shah Suri 1545, Maratha Bhattshahi 1732, East India Company 1812 and Revolt of 1857
Demolished: 1858
Mughal emperor Babur became the only commander in history to have captured the fort in 1526. It was also the place where Sher Shah Suri met his death in 1545 when he was killed either in the fort or nearby on the grounds. In 1569 Akbar captured the fort and it was under Mughal rule until its capture by the Marathas.
This place is breathtaking. The carvings running up the columns are something else. This is why India is such an incredible experience. It never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for taking us there.
@20:26 Gabriel actually he is trying to explain you that the water dripping from the shiva head is the symbolic representation of River Ganges , as in hindu mythology " shiva tied River ganga in his jata(hair) to decrease the intensity of flow of River water on earth and to quench the thirst of people "
Hindusim is alive not dead yet
What an incredible place! Never heard of this place actually. Absolutely mind blowing
Kalinjar fort is very old, it mentioned during bhuddha period ( prior to 600 BCE ), almost every major empire had used this fort.
Kalinja means distroyer of time.
Many peoeple in India, even me, did not knew about this until now, thank a lot for covering it.
Amazing Gab. More locations to add to my list. Thanks for the insight. Jai Shambu Har Har Mahadev 🙏🏾🔱🔱🔱
23:20 that's a technique used in ancient times to store water in mountains, you'll thought that water they carried from base but actually that water is stored from nearby source of water, in India almost in every fort on hills you'll find this water storage area, they're built in such a way that they don't get evaporated easily, when these facilities were in use at that time water must be clean but now no one uses it so they don't bother to change anything.
Yes . True . Rightly said 👍
Wow, absolutely breathtaking in every sense of the word.Extremely impressive archaeological find .Gabriel, thank you so much sir, for another amazing vlog.Stay healthy, stay safe.👍🙏🏽
kalinjar fort was one of the capitals of chandela empire (area similar to bundelkhand), other being khajuraho. khajuraho is more famous because of the erotic sculptors. kalinjar was strategically very important for anyone with a desire to rule over India. It was probably in prominence during the gupta rule. chandellas were probably governors of kannauj empire who ruled vast parts of northern India, later they broke away and became independent. After turkish conquest of north india (delhi sultanate but before mughals) many tried to capture this fort but failed. In fact, sher shah suri died here trying to capture this fort because the cannon ball exploded due to very high walls. His son built a mosque there.
Also, worth mentioning is that the rulers have built some marking everywhere there is water. This is helpful when enemies army circle the fort and due to hot weather it may not be possible to go down the hill. It is currently being maintained by archeological survey of India, but there are allegations that it is not being done properly and that ASI is interested only in mughal arhitecture due to ideological reasons.
Only mughal king akbar was able to capture the fort for sometime. Later under raja chatrasal of panna (near khajuraho), bundelkhand became independent again and no one could capture it. When the king grew old, he divided his state. Gave one part to the maratha with its capital at gwalior, although gwalior is very old and also strategically very important, in fact india's oldest symbol of zero is found in one of the temples at gwalior. one of the seats of power was at Kalpi nearby. When the british took over, they found the fort was too strong so they destroyed its walls and made it fade into history.
Chandela kings were prominent before the rajasthan forts. You may see unique structural styles and heavy carvings of different era. There are a few temples built later during the bundela period which has maratha influences in the same complex.
It is worth noting that this region has even older history as archeological evidences.
write blog, and leave link please, we need people like you :)
ASI have to change their mindset and work for the maintenance and restoration of the monuments. Why do the governments (State and central) think that these places need only security and someone to issue tickets?☹️ We should wake up before it is too late. As such, most of the present generation has no inkling about our glorious past due to various reasons. It is the duty of the government to take more initiative and interest to preserve these for posterity. If development is important for a Nation so also its past history.
@@krishnaprem2089 History is subjective. Besides much of it has already been stolen or destroyed. This area is not a well developed region. Anyway, as there are less people here, it is better for environment and ecology. Many of the villages nearby are 1000 years old with many beautiful temples and townplanning. However, with modern technology, we can see and visit, virtually such places. In olden temples, statues representing stories from purana and Upanishad are represented. Culture lives, thats the whole point.
People like praveenmohan are presenting knowledge about such places on youtube.
It's very true yhat ASI is ruled by incompetent and inefficient government servants and very few actually do their job properly. For ASI, monuments begin and end with Taj. They can't see beyond that, neither they care. Especially the marvelous Hindu architecture is completely neglected.
Incredible awesome Gabriel you found a gem. Thank you, I see why you love India.
18:34 "Saat Manjil" means Seven levels (storeys) . Manjil is urdu mixup in Hindi. He wants to say the broken structure had seven levels. He did not say "Mandir" :)
Manzil is not a Hindi word? What is the correct word in Hindi?
@@vivekra
:) You wont use it in normal conversation. It is called "अट्टालक" [Attalakah] . It comes from sanskrit. It means floor . And the whole building is called अट्टालिका [Attalika] .
I remember this word as it came in one of famous Hindi poem " तोड़ती पत्थर" by renowned Hindi poet Suryakant Tripathi Nirala.
Actually Manjil/Manzil loosely translates into storeys/levels/floor . It is not an exact word but still people use it.
Manzil means ""destination" and so when used with building it actually means "roof" [as roof is considered to be final end . So loosly 7 roofs or 7 Manzils:)
@@truthteller2991 Thanks!
@@truthteller2991 you seem very well versed in literature and culture !
@truth teller... ofcourse mughals lutere invaders destroyed 6 atalaq as usual😓
Man this was epic! I didnt knew about this place being an indian ..Thanks a lot for showing these unexplored architecture..Is this place well preserved? Do they take tickets to see the place?
Yes there's a gate and a ticket office where you enter, it's 300 rupees for foreigners.
14:00 Prayagraj is not new name ..It used to be the city's name before Mughal attacked the city and changed the name
This name is difficult to pronounce
I see, good to know.

The fort was not 600 years old, its from 3rd Century Gupta Empire. Writings are in Sanskit. But the area and its occupation itself may be even older.
It's 1000 years + my dear guest.
More than 1000....
I repeat more than 1000 years old.
Thank you.
Gabriel: I think you're the best vlogger coverage of India.....very inspirational, and encourages one to visit these historical places..... thanks for sharing....♥️♥️🇺🇸
Edit: ancient Art, Architecture & History....the best ...♥️🙂
Would be nice if the government or city mgt would enclosed the area & maintain this place.... then I don't mind donations to help.... it's beautiful history....
Its not possible for the govt to manage the vast spread of these temples dotting across whole of country. Well one day when india gets richer then maybe.
The last two videos of Kalinjar are truly mind blowingly awesome. You have truly excelled yourself on this Indian visit Gab! It's interesting that all the sculptures are numbered for reference or as some kind of guide? 👍🙏
I think the numbers are assigned by archeological society of India for documentation.
Even most Hindus are kept uninformed and bombarded with Taj Mahal by media and academia.
I will explain why:

Hi sir , these are the Sanskrit encryption, which was from Gupta period , Gupta Empire ruled India at least 1700 years ago.
I often find it really difficult to understand how come people of that era were able to build such incredibly complex architectures without any modern equipment. Extremely hard to comprehend in todays age.
Faith
Shivoham project is an youtube channel and in his video, he talked about Vedic geometry.
Read vashtusashtra
@@lettheloveflow NO. organised and highly trained workforce.
@@avibcci1297 All the building methods used in ancient India is based on vastushastra. it has precise methods of how a large group of well trained technicians created these masterpiece. modern India is not so well organised and manpower is barely trained in anything.
Hi Gabriel! A person can spend a lifetime in India for the sights and experiences.
The background music is so peaceful I feel like I am alone in that whole world and a peace of mind.
16:51 statue of woman in bikini shows that how advanced civilization that was. also have seen many things like telescope and other stufffs in ancient Indian temples which are at least 900 years old.
Hinduism has always embraced sex ,it was an open society, Kamasutra was written in India
@@harsh1201 yup u r right
Thats not a statue of women its a statue of sadhu or rishi wearing langota a cloth wore by sadhus and rishis and its a defaced art with his hands holding up praying to lord shiva, you can see such statues in temples.
Images of naked women are never carved inside the temple where the lord is placed, as it attracts your attention from the Lord.
@@dgurunathreddy no man it was a women l watch again
Harsh stupid argument. Brahmacharya and asceticism was the core of society. Embraced sex? Only between wedded couple. Even Kamasutra recommends moderation, self control and even brahmacharya and a virgin bride.
Nonetheless, it's highly likely to have been edited by the British.
400-500 years old are not even considered old in india 😆😆, because we have very old history.
More than 900 years old
at least 1000 years to consider a bit old.
Love, love, love the tours of the ancient temples! Was that a woman with a bow and arrow at 7:01? Cool.
I wish I knew everything the ancients were trying to tell us with these carvings
Goddess Kali.
You must visit Kailasa Temple, Ellora....a must see in India. One of the most powerfull shiva temple and master peice..
Gupta Dyasty existed from 250 BC to 100 BC their kingdom spread from east coast of Africa ETHIOPIA to Pragyasthala South America. The polynesians especially the Queen of Tahiti claimed their ancestry to Gupta Empire.It was during the reign of king Samudragupta Indian Empire spread the most.Samudraguta placed the protoaustroloid aborigines from India in Australaya or modern day Australia to protect the merchant navy ships to sail safely upto the coast of Peru through malacca strait as there were Pirate ships who used to loot the merchant ships.Peru in Marathi means Guava.
What an absolutely incredible place! I wish I had gotten to see it on my trip to India. Great video!
You must visit Ellora too. Masterpiece architecture.
Structure looks so rich, thank you for exploring the little places even locals forget.
thank you Gabriel to show us the " Undiscovered "history , being an Indian even I was unaware of this exquisite beauty...Kudos to your hardwork and desire to know Ancient hindu mythological history
This video is just up my street. In my opinion Gabriel you do the best videos on ancient monuments of India compared to others. Keep them coming!
Amazing. Seeing India through your eyes!! I never knew this place exists in India!!
Note that these are just ruins. Imagine how phenomenal it would've been during its prime. Glory to ancient Indus civilisation.
Man, this place is incredible, I hope one day G,O,I will put some money into this place for some sort of restoration.
All the defacement reminds me of what isis did to Mosul aka Mesopotamia just a few years back. The destruction of ancient art and architecture just breaks my heart. This place in its prime must have been a true wonder of the world.
GOI needs to be watching youtube.
Atleast restore their faces
@@ronymemes485 no stone remained to restore. Colour changes.
We Indians and our GOI are useless who don"t respect, care, or value our heritage...Maybe white people will save these sites, books n heritage...I have no expectations from Indians...
Destruction takes no effort but to put brick by brick and build it takes your hardwork and effort, destructors are barbarian culture with no sense for art.
gupta period means 5 th century so it's 1500 years old. and the thing written on wall is Sanskrit but script is Brahmi instead of Devanagari (Hindi uses This script).
13:01 seems like leg of Hanuman.
Thanks for the info.

Wow, otherworldly craftsmanship and artistry....it is to the Indian people's credit that these images have survived as long and as well as they have...in Europe they would be covered in graffiti or defaced by Islamists and other uncultured vandals, much worse than anything we see here. Respect to the Indian people. Great discovery Gabriel. Thanks for showing. I will try to go there one day
many ancient temples are destroyed during islamic invasion
most of it was already destroyed by islamic invaders in India too
I was going to say I thought I seen this, but the first part was not there I'll watch it again nope this one is different. WOW that is some Awesome! carving very cool.
Thank You 🙏 for sharing this a chance of a life time to lay our eyes on such a sacred Temple 🙏
Shiva... Shiva... Shiva... Everywhere... Oh what a place... Sashtanga pranam to our great indian ancestors 🙏🙏🙏 superb sculptures...
👍The whole belt from orccha to Khajuraho to kalinjar were ruled by chandela and bundela warrior clans, even Mahmood gaznavi attacked this place kalinjar fort in 11th century . shershah suri died in this very fort by an explosive.
This whole region of bundelkhand had been a place of very important historical events from the time of gaznavi to Mughals to Britishers.
Believe me I live near here in Banda and the temperature was 47.4 °C last week (hottest in India).

Hi Gabriel, At one time must have been a magnificent place as you step in the front entrance there must have been a very large pool of water perhaps a sacred pool also used for rituals it's a very interesting location with many different buildings with some buildings that have probably have been destroyed. Similar to the European castle's small city-like structure for protecting local people.
That's the misunderstand when foreigners founded Angkor wat, they thought the moat is good for protection, even in wiki moat defines as defence..but ancient builders used moats or tanks for the soil remains firm and durable
You should visit Kailasa Temple too, it is in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Also if you go deep in South like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, you will see many huge, old temples. One of them is Brihadeeswara Temple, a thousand year old.
Wow so much history can't wait til I can travel there
Really a great discovery Gabriel, why our media never covered the lovely temples and it's history?
Why?
Gabriel you hit goldmine.

In the vast meadows of Central India , lies these historical remains !! Thanks to effort's to bring down these before the interested pepple !! We can see whatever is n't destructed !! Bow before those ancient Hindus who built these mighty architecture 🙏🙏

Brilliant! It reminded me of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. That particular type of stone and just how many high relief carvings there are is incredible. I don’t know much about the Gupta period, but I’m an English teacher, and I cover that history very briefly with my students before moving on to the Mogul Dynasty. Anyway, I really enjoyed your video!
The angkor temples were also made by kings of dynasties that were gone from India to rule.
Before Mughal dynasty is the real india, ancient India. Lot of foreigners don't know about that. North to South lot of Hindu Buddhist kingdom took india to Glory but after Mughal came India, lot people become poor, slavery. Even they destroyed 1000 of ancient Hindu temples. U can only visit ancient temples in south india. Because south never invaded by Mughal. Angot war was Hindu temple worshipped Vishnu. after, it become Buddhist temple.
@@Right-Knight I didn’t know that! 🤔

Why is this place not so popular in India? This looks incredible.
it is incredible you are going to the places that most Indians don't know. lot of these places have no mention in India's history books which have been written by Britishers and leftist historians with vested interest so that there won't be Pride for the nation among Indians. most Indians have no clue about advanced civilization they had. it is seen in so many occasions. people who have studied in top schools and Universities in the country and then went abroad for work. each year hundreds of thousands of Indians with billions of dollars of education leaving the country. in NASA 70% of the scientists and USA and UK lots of top doctors n engineers are of Indian Origin. lot of top brands in the world like Google Microsoft Twitter Pepsi Adobe Chanel Inmarsat Vimeo IBM Mastercard Micron Technology, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, Diageo, Global Foundries, NetApp, Deloitte, Vmware have Indian CEOs. if people have pride in their country why would they leave. yes there are problems in the nation but if all the brilliant minds leave then could there be a solution.
U concluded well... It's time for Indians to have proud of being Indians and stop thinking they are less than any race, culture or soceity.
When you are proud, you lead. When you don't proud on your existence you follow. This is what Indians are doing right now.
But mark my words, it's just a matter of next 50-100 years time of Indian civilization coming back.
Exquisitely Breathtaking
Thank u so much for Exploring such a incredible place and unknown place for us. Even we didn't travel much in whole India and appreciate u gor this.
U are like promoting our architect and marvelous places👌👌👌
Keep it up
Imagine this place in its heydays….so mystical ..thanks to Gabriel Traveller…feel ashamed didn’t know it’s existence,though visited Khajuraho,would love to see this place

This huge fort has grand palaces and canopies, which are finely designed and carved. The fort is believed to be the abode of the Hindu god Shiva. The fort also having a unique temple of Neelkanth Mahadev. Kalinjar fort of Banda district has been a witness of the many ups and downs of history in every era.
Gwarn Gabe 👍 bangin video as always. Love it👍🇬🇷
I found this video because I am reading about the tirthas of India in The Mahabharata. Wow!! So glad I found this. Amazing for armchair traveling. Felt like I was almost there. It must have been absolutely insane.
Great, glad to hear it.
अद्भुत ग्रैबियल..
आपका स्वागत है भारत मे

If you're heading for Allahabad, I remember taking a train there from Pathankot in Punjab. It was 1988 I think and we had gone to Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh to escape the heat, only to realize that the way back was through Pathankot and the Punjab was closed to tourists due to the unrest. We needed money but couldn't get any, so we had to travel with what we had. Our rupees only stretched to a third class ticket to Allahabad, 22 hours away! That was an amazing but hugely uncomfortable trip.
That sounds intense. I've done a few of those third class train journeys, always an experience.
That era was so different. I wonder how you 80's travellers manged without ATM's. Anyways you have lots more options today with really good highways, if you want to get around India.
It's not allahbad anymore, it's now known wit its old name pyagraj
Thanks for showing this.
Feeling more relaxed
Its quite fascinating to see the army of monkey protecting the Ancient Indian temple , as they might be instructed to do so by some Devine force....
Gabriel I’ve watched all of your India videos and they are mesmerizing…thanks for your interest and hard work…so informative.
Watch video of praveenmohan on these topics. They are amazing.

OK, I'm officially a fan. Have been planning a trip to Kalinjar for quite a while and haven't managed it. You're the first person to make a video of this fort.
