Ganesh Temple

In the middle of Jaipur rises a small hill Moti Dungri meaning pearl hill. The hill is occupied by a palace and a temple. The Moti Dungri Palace and auspicious temple of Lord Ganesha are known for their wonderful location and marvelous architecture that dazzles many.

The famous and auspicious temple of Lord Ganesh, the Moti Doongri Temple is quite famous for the tourists for its excellent beauty. This ancient temple serves as a tourist attraction for the scenic view it offers. Moti Dungri Temple is significant from the religious point of view. People from far and near often come to this sacred temple to pay their homage to Lord Ganesha.

Going by the secular nature of India, the temple has three domes, which represent different approaches to religion. It is a beautiful white marble temple, which seems to glow at night. The architectural style in which the temple is built is a pleasing amalgamation of Western, Hindu and Muslim architectural traits.

Close to the Temple, lies a beautiful Palace on the hill, known as Moti Dungri Palace. The Palace is an imitation of a Scottish Castle. In the ancient times, it was occupied by Maharaja Madho Singh's son. From there on it has remained as a private property of the ruling family. In the recent past it served as a home for Rajmata Gaytri Devi and her estranged son Jagat Singh. The mere view of this castle is exotic enough. However, visitors are not allowed inside the premises of the palace.

Visit the temple in evening and you’ll find the temple bathed in a white glow that simply enthralls the onlookers.
