Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple
A popular Jaipur landmark built around a revered Ganesha shrine, with the small hill and temple forming a familiar part of the city's skyline.
About Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple
Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple sits at the foot of a small hill in south Jaipur and is one of the city's busiest temples. Its image of Ganesha is said to have been brought to Jaipur in the 18th century, with the temple built around it in 1761.
On the hilltop above is a small fort-like palace, privately owned by the royal family and closed to visitors. Wednesday, Ganesha's day, is especially busy, and many people come to have a new car or a new venture blessed.
