Tilon

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:11:05

The attractive 14th-century Tilon-ki-Pol gateway that straddles the road down to Gadi Sagar is said to have been built by a famous prostitute. When she offered to pay to have it constructed, the maharawal refused permission on the grounds that he would have to pass under it to go down to the tank, which would be beneath his dignity. While he was away, she built the gate anyway, adding a Krishna temple on top so the king could not tear it down.
