Nestled in the scenic Aravalli hills, Galtaji Temple in Jaipur is a unique pilgrimage site and architectural marvel. This ancient temple complex, dating back to the 16th century, is dedicated to Saint Galav, a revered sage in Hindu mythology. Often called the "Monkey Temple" due to the numerous monkeys inhabiting the area, Galtaji is renowned for its natural springs and sacred kunds (water tanks) that attract devotees and tourists alike. The temple complex is an oasis of tranquility, surrounded by rugged hills and lush vegetation. It boasts intricate Rajasthani architecture, with pink sandstone walls, elaborate carvings, and pavilions that exhibit Jaipur's traditional craftsmanship. The main shrine is dedicated to the Sun God, Surya, while other temples within the complex are devoted to deities like Lord Rama, Krishna, and Hanuman. The highlight, however, is the sacred water tanks, particularly the "Galta Kund," which is believed to be the holiest of all. Pilgrims take ritual baths here, especially during Makar Sankranti, to cleanse their sins. The Galtaji Temple is more than just a spiritual destination. It provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling city of Jaipur, with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The site's unique geographical setting-nestled in a natural gorge-adds to its mystical allure. Visitors often encounter playful monkeys, adding a touch of liveliness to this serene place. For those seeking both spiritual solace and cultural exploration, Galtaji Temple offers an unforgettable experience, blending religious significance with architectural beauty. A visit to this ancient temple is a journey through time, providing insight into Jaipur's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

In a world where the light of hope has all but faded, one priest and her companions embark on a sacred journey through the desolate remains of civilization. Luce, the last Catholic priest, bears the immense responsibility of protecting the final Bible-a relic of humanity's lost faith-through the barren wastelands that stretch endlessly before them. Alongside her are Fe, a repentant monk carrying the weight of his past; Xin, a steadfast exorcist whose loyalty is matched by her fierce compassion; Sky, a musician whose melodies keep despair at bay; and Santino, the loyal stray dog who symbolizes divine providence. Their pilgrimage is a testament to the endurance of hope amidst despair, the sacred duty of bearing light in the darkest of times. They face the relentless forces of evil, with demons trying to break their spirits. Yet, together, they walk on, guided by faith, each step a defiance of the shadow that threatens to consume the last remnants of goodness. With their colorful raincoats fluttering in the wind and bordones in hand, they journey to safeguard the last testament of the Almighty, where the burden of faith, the resilience of friendship, and the promise of redemption collide in a world where light still fights to shine through the encroaching dark.

I originally made this story for a school assignment, but since I haven't posted a new story in a while, I thought it would be cool to post it. Arashiro is a slave on a farm, and doesn't even remember how he got to the farm. But when a sled maker asks to stay the night in the middle of winter, Arashiro's memory is triggered. He remembers he used to have a sister, and knows he must journey to find her. Along the way, he will not only shed light on his dark and twisted past, but he will also find the key to reaching enlightenment.
