Fameux pour ses Maharajas et sa population rajpoute encore bien pr\u00e9sente, le Rajasthan vaut \u00e0 vrai dire un voyage assez long en lui-m\u00eame. Alors autant vous dire qu&rsquo;on ne pourra vous donner qu&rsquo;un aper\u00e7u de ce coin riche en culture, architecture et contes de toutes sortes. \u00ab\u00a0Et pourquoi ne pas le dire\u00a0?

La ville est \u00e0 peine r\u00e9veill\u00e9e quand on arrive et l&rsquo;endroit para\u00eet d\u00e9sert apr\u00e8s les villes plut\u00f4t agit\u00e9es et bruyantes qu&rsquo;on a vues jusque l\u00e0. On trouve vite une guesthouse au pied du Palais, centre historique de la ville. La qui\u00e9tude est vraiment appr\u00e9ciable et la matin\u00e9e sera consacr\u00e9e au repos suite \u00e0 cette nuit de transport. L&rsquo;apr\u00e8s-midi, on visite donc notre premier Palais de Maharaja. En effet, le Rajasthan est connu pour en h\u00e9berger un paquet, sachant que certains Maharajas sont encore \u00ab\u00a0en activit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb et poss\u00e8dent donc encore leur \u00e9norme \u00ab\u00a0maison\u00a0\u00bb qu&rsquo;ils ouvrent pour les visites la plupart du temps. Celui de Bundi est malheureusement \u00e0 l&rsquo;abandon dans sa majorit\u00e9, l&rsquo;h\u00e9ritier ayant d\u00e9laiss\u00e9 son bien (en r\u00e9cup\u00e9rant quand m\u00eame les droits d&rsquo;entr\u00e9e, faut pas d\u00e9conner&#8230;). On a eu le droit \u00e0 une visite guid\u00e9e gr\u00e2ce aux jeunes qui gardent le site. Certains d\u00e9tails sont encore bien visibles et la vue sur la ville est superbe. <\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_2614\" style=\"width: 809px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00389.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2614\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00389.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2614\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">La nature prend le dessus...<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2613\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00387.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2613\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00387.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2613\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Le fort de Bundi vu d&#039;une terrasse en ville<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2617\" style=\"width: 1075px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00409.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2617\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00409.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1065\" height=\"1600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2617\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Les \u00e9l\u00e9phants gardent l&#039;entr\u00e9e du palais<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2616\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00405.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2616\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00405.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2616\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Motif plafonnier de la chambre de la Maharaji<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2615\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00397.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2615\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthewoorld.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSC00397.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2615\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2615\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salle des audiences publiques.

Un rickshaw nous prend en charge d\u00e8s notre arriv\u00e9e, nous am\u00e8ne manger puis nous fait le tour du proprio dans le fort pr\u00e8s de trois heures durant. On commencera par le Palais du Maharadja, malheureusement lui aussi en piteux \u00e9tat, des temples hindous, la magnifique tour de la Victoire et enfin le palais de Padmini, la Maharaji. Arr\u00eatons-nous quelques lignes sur cette femme qui fit tourner la t\u00eate de pas mal d&rsquo;hommes dont le sultan Moghol de Delhi qui, apr\u00e8s avoir beaucoup insist\u00e9, n&rsquo;a pu l&rsquo;apercevoir qu&rsquo;au travers d&rsquo;un jeu de miroirs subtil, pour pr\u00e9server son honneur. Irrit\u00e9, le sultan Moghol fit prisonnier son mari. La reine feignit de se rendre au sultan, accompagn\u00e9e de sa suite de 700 servantes, dont certaines n&rsquo;\u00e9taient autres que des soldats d\u00e9guis\u00e9s. Ils lib\u00e9r\u00e8rent ainsi le mari mais la vengeance du sultan fut terrible et les Rajpoutes du fort rev\u00eatirent la robe safran du sacrifice supr\u00eame et r\u00e9sist\u00e8rent jusqu&rsquo;au dernier. La reine Padmini inaugura alors avec ses servantes la pratique du Johar\u00a0: le suicide collectif par immolation. Triste fin pour ces valeureux Rajpoutes. <\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_2625\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
