This popular temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha sits at the foot of a rocky hill crowned by a private palace in the shape of a Scottish castle. Built in the 18th century, the temple draws large crowds on Wednesdays and during Ganesh Chaturthi, when devotees queue to seek blessings for new ventures and marriages. Its marble shrine and the striking hilltop palace above form a memorable pairing. The temple is among the most visited devotional sites in Jaipur and a focal point of local religious life.
