BHARTRIHARI, Alwar (Cave of)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified sacred cave (temple cave or cave temple) of sorts, which is associated with the legendary Raja Bhartrihari (note 1), reported TOD (1829-1832, 1: 608) from an unspecified location in Alwar City: If all the places assigned to this brother of Vicrama were really visited by him, he must have been one of the greatest tourists of antiquity, and must have lived to an antediluvian old age. Witness his castle at Sehwan, on the Indus; his cave at Alwur [Alwar]; his 't'hans' at Aboo [Mt. Abu], and at Banares [Varanasi].An unspecified sacred cave (temple cave or cave temple) of sorts, which is associated with the legendary Raja Bhartrihari (note 1), reported TOD (1829-1832, 1: 608) from an unspecified location in Alwar City: If all the places assigned to this brother of Vicrama were really visited by him, he must have been one of the greatest tourists of antiquity, and must have lived to an antediluvian old age.
