Trinetra Ganesh Temple
Set within Ranthambore Fort itself, this three-eyed Ganesh shrine is one of India's few temples where wedding invitations are traditionally posted to the deity first.
About Trinetra Ganesh Temple
The Trinetra Ganesh temple, inside Ranthambore Fort, is one of Rajasthan's most revered Ganesha shrines. Its image shows Ganesha with three eyes, together with his wives Riddhi and Siddhi and his sons Shubh and Labh.
Families from across India send letters and wedding cards here, addressed simply to Ganesh ji at Ranthambore, so the god is the first guest invited. The temple fills with pilgrims on Wednesdays, and thousands climb up for the fair held around Ganesh Chaturthi.
