While returning from Nathdwara, the taxi driver turned towards the famous Haldighati where in the year 1576 AD Maharana Pratap of Mewar had fought fierce battle with Emperor Akbar, though the mighty Mughals could not subjugate Maharana. So much annihilation of human life was done in the battle that the soil was flooded with blood, hence 'Rakt Talai' or pool of blood. The place is rightly called 'Haldi' Ghati or the turmeric valley as the color of soil is yellowish as you dig further, more yellow colour comes out.

Temple is in the open space.

Strange people are either unaware and unnotice this historical place.
As the name board displalys,this is the place where the chariot of Lord Shreenathji stopped and didn't move further.So till the time an abode for the God could be built,Shreenathji rested here and did all the penance.
Later on with all the rituals,Shreenathji was moved to his new present abode.
This is also the place where Ghee and other daily used commodities are stored some in well too.
Timings are from 10.30 am to 17.30 pm.daily.
Pay your respects here too.
Enjoy and be blessed.
