Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra, Shri Mahavir Ji
Village Chandanpur of Karauli District in Rajasthan, India is popularly known as Shri Mahaveer Ji because of famous Digamber Jain temple of Lord Mahaveer ji. This small village is approximately 110kms away from Sawai Madhopur town and 130kms from Bharatpur, Rajasthan. 200 years ago this small village became famous as a Jain religious site after an ancient idol of Lord Mahaveer was excavated from its soil several hundred years ago. Thousands of worshipers flock from across India to catch a glimpse of this famous statue.
Other than the main temple of Lord Mahaveer there are several ones like Lord Shantinath temple, Sheesh Mandir, Kamal Mandir etc. There are so many dharamshalas and one hotel in the Mahaveer ji village. Other than the pilgrimage activity you can do shopping and camel riding.

Great temple of Jain society. The special thing about this temple is that the idol of Lord Mahavira, the Tirthankar in this temple, came out from Bhugarva and this idol was taken out by a cowherd (cow's milkman). When he came to know about this, when the cow started coming out on its own, then the cowherd dug on the wah, then this idol has come out of the wah, and for better information you go and see it. You will like it very much.
Thank you
Jai Jinendra .🙏

Massage for the body is a beauty treatment, with various techniques offering benefits to the skin (including the application of beauty products) and increasing mental well-being.[2] Hair removal is offered at some beauty salons through treatments such as waxing and threading. Some beauty salons also style hair instead of requiring clients to go to a separate hair salon. Some also offer sun tanning via tanning beds.
Another popular beauty treatment specific to the face is known as a facial. The perceived effects of a facial mask treatment include revitalization, healing, or refreshment of the skin. They may yield temporary benefits depending on environmental, dietary, and other skincare factors. Although customers seek out these services for anti-aging or anti-inflammatory results, there is little to no objective evidence that there are any long-term benefits to the various available facial treatments.[3]
Specialized beauty salons known as nail salons offer treatments such as manicures and pedicures for the nails.[citation needed] A manicure is a treatment for the hands that involves trimming and filing of the fingernails and softening the cuticles in preparation for the application of nail polish. A pedicure is a treatment for the feet that involves trimming and filing of the toenails in preparation for the application of nail polish, as well as the softening or removal of calluses.[

THIS IS NOT JUST A TIRTH BUT A WHOLE CITY OUT THERE.
Famous tirth place for Jains where people come to take Darshan of Mahavir Bhagwan.
This place is crowded all the time.
Lot of shops outside the temple.
Generally people stay there for a night and lot of rooms available with reasonable price.
Food outside has ok ok in taste.
The Temple is build in very large space and give you peace after getting Darshan of God.
Normally all the time the place is HOT, you will get sweat for sure.
Cannot rate the holy place. But must visit.

It is lovely place to explore, don't expect much in terms of spotting a Tiger. As Sariska is a huge area and limited tigers are there. As per my recent trips only 12 tigers are there in the whole Sariska Reserve.
But Jeep Safari is enjoyable and much fun. If you are planning to go there, better visit in Summer as Summer is the best time to spot the Tiger.

Sariska tiger reserve booking office is 40 km from Alwar city surrounded by Aravalli tiger range, you can get window ticket 1 hr before safari in case availability of ticket is there after online booking. It opens 6 am in the morning and closes at 11 am after safari, reopens at 1 pm for evening safari.
I had visited the place with my family and daughter during the occasion of diwali.
Safari ticket can be booked from rajasthan.gov.in by following some simple steps.
Make a login by aadhar number mail id and mobile number, then as per availability book the slot of safari, there are two gates sariska and tahela, sariska is the main gate, there are 3 tracks which need to mention during booking.
There is one cafe for snacks and tea/ coffee, one shop for collections of mementoes of sariska. One gallery for information of the birds of animals of this national park, there is toilet and parking facilities, but parking is chargeable 50 Rs. This place is in front of sariska palace decorated for photography, neelgai, sambar deer and spotted dear was found to moving freely in this area.

Overall experience is good. If you want zipsy then book it in advance otherwise canter will available. Just check time slots before visiting. Chances of tiger sighting is low but if you have you are lucky enough you can
Mohit Yadav — Google review
There are 2 slots for the safari. One at 6:30 and another at 13:30. Gypsies can be only booked online. In-person booking only offers canter vans. It is recommended to book your slot one day prior (if online) or you can book on the same day (if offline).
The safari is of a good 150 to 180 minutes and gypsies offer a better experience than canter vans.

There are two different times one in morning and other one in afternoon. Please check timings before coming to safari gate.

Harṣat Mātā kā Mandir) is a Hindu temple in the Abhaneri (or "Abaneri") village of Rajasthan, in north-western India. The temple is now dedicated to a goddess called Harshat Mata, although some art historians theorize that it was originally a Vaishnavite shrine.

Harshat Mata Temple in Abaneri, Rajasthan (2019)
The original temple appears to have been built in the panchayatana style, which features a main shrine surrounded by four subsidiary shrines. Only parts of the main shrine now survive and they have been ruined and modified over several centuries, with the tall shikara tower replaced by a roof-dome. Much of the platform survives, with fragments of carved stones from the original structure, but most of the sculptures have been removed to the museums in Amer and jaipur.

I was there at noon so the temple was almost empty. The temple is located right next to the Chand Baori step well. At first, I didn't know it was the temple there. My curiosity took me to the temple.

Harshat Mata Mandir, dedicated to the goddess of joy and "Happiness," stands as a testament to ancient Indian craftsmanship and devotion. Constructed in the 9th century AD by King Chand of the Chahamana dynasty, this temple showcases the rich architectural heritage of the Solanki style.
Upon entering the temple complex, visitors are greeted by the magnificent sanctuary, mandapa, and pradakshina path, each intricately adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. One of the most remarkable features of the temple is its series of projecting balconies, embellished with sculptures depicting gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures, adding to its grandeur and charm.
The temple's interior is equally captivating, with its stunning ceiling adorned with exquisite frescoes depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. Despite the passage of time, these frescoes have been carefully restored, allowing visitors to marvel at their beauty and intricacy.
Situated near the renowned Chand Baori stepwell, Harshat Mata Mandir attracts tourists and pilgrims alike. Its ancient architecture, coupled with its rich history, makes it a popular destination for those seeking to explore India's cultural and spiritual heritage.

Idol of Harshad Mata here is new as the ancient one is stolen.
The aura of this temple is something else you heart won't allow you to leave this place.

Architecture looks like Gurjar-Pratihar style
Many beautiful artifacts are on the sides of temple.
Once you visit here you would like to come again and again.
Bhangarh Fort is a complex of historical significance, built in 1631, featuring the remains of Hindu temples, royal palaces and tombs.

It is advisable to take a government-approved guide who can narrate interesting stories about the place while exploring its ruins.

I had a long time wish to visit this " Haunted" fort, so made it on October 2nd.
Far from being haunted, it's a well constructed fort, built in a lovely natural location, surrounded by lush green hills forming a natural Boundary.
Though it is partly ruined, with buildings having NO roofs, it's a very nicely designed fort, well laid out buildings, market place, temples, etc, with exquisite architecture, paintings on walls, roof, etc.
The whole complex seems to have experienced a natural disaster like earthquake, bringing down buildings & in turn killing all people, hence the stories about being haunted.
Visit it if you get a chance, it's beautiful.
Sanjoy Bhattacharya — Google review
It's probably the most peaceful attraction in India. Even though it's one of the most haunted places in the world, it's really worth a visit during the day. The city must have been very gigantic in the past. Get a local tour guide so you would enjoy the interesting story behind it. Night visits are not allowed. Try to come out before dawn.

Easy walking (there are steps) a visit is max 2 hours. You’ll see the royal palace, 2-3 temples, fortifications, and where the people used to live. Not much signage. Need a guide. Best to visit around 7-7:30 to avoid heat and crowds.
No water or toilets.

I saw many reptiles and insects in real like bat and this worm 🪱. Go there on a good weather day . And you have to buy tickets for 2 times. While parking your vehicle and while entering. You can't park anywhere around because it's not allowed . Hope it was helpful. Thank you ✨

A stunning abandoned fort on the shadows of the Aravalli Hills, the ruins include rows of old bazar buildings, temples, gates, gardens and a palace.
The location, setting, strangler fog trees and overall appeal make this place otherworldly and something out of a movie set.
Come during the end of the day towards sunset and the entire place is yours, but leave before it’s completely dark or else you might be locked in which will be a bad idea.

Little bit walk required here. Also with uphill side. Ample parking space available with 50 rs charges fort tickets 20 rs and child upto 15 yrs free. Fort tickets can be bought online also near window. Be aware from monkeys. I don't think guide is much required or u mAy get around 100-200 rs. Low availability of food here. Get some snacks together. Bit isolated space. Some scenic photography you may have. U can climb fort at your own risk as steps not there properly beyond few stairs.

The fort's grounds are peaceful throughout the day because of the little waterfall and temples that have been painstakingly sculpted there. The ruins of a few palaces located inside the fort are convincing evidence of the fort's former glory. The fort's peaceful daytime environment and the fact that it is an architectural masterpiece would have made it a popular tourist destination.

It is a ruined fort city with five temples, a bazar, Purohit Ki Haveli, Nathan ki Haveli and a reconstructed palace.
Interesting to note that no statues are available inside the temples or in palace. Bazaar and Havelis are roofless.
Fort was constructed in 1573 by Raja Bhagwant Das. It is not clear as to how and when the fort was abandoned.
Guide may tell interesting stories of black magic, tantric and ghosts which are amusing. Better hear from him and enjoy!
Scenery is beautiful.
Opens at 9 in the morning and closes by 5 or 5.30 depending on season.
Charges for parking and entry.
No restaurant inside or nearby.
Afternoons are hot.

Bhangarh fort was established by Madho Singh, the younger brother of Man Singh. It was a planned city with walls all around and four gates. It was a busy commercial center of its time. Folklore has it that it was cursed by a hermit who lived on the nearby hill top and the fort became deserted overnight. It became a ghost town and still now has the distinction of being labelled as one of the most haunted places on Earth. There are four temples inside the fort but only one, the Someshwar Mahadev, has a deity in it. No one is allowed to stay in the fort after sunset and only eight guards remain at the main gate, near a Hanuman temple. There have been reports of many paranormal activities & accidents in the past but the last twenty years or so have not witnessed any such things. The fort is maintained in a very good condition and the tickets are reasonably priced at ₹25/-. Private parking is also available @ ₹100/- per vehicle. It is around 100 km from Alwar and 30 km from Dausa on Alwar Dausa road. The road condition is not good.

It is a great tourist attraction. And I loved the story behind it. I don’t consider it haunted but it’s a mysterious place and I had a wonderful experience over there.
There are local people who tells the story behind the fort, don’t miss to hear the true and honest story of the fort from them.

There is nothing worth seeing there. Earlier everyone used to roam here for free but now minimum charges are taken from everyone about 50/_ by tourist & by local person they charge 25/_ and there are also parking charges 50/_
Bhangarh is a ruined palace.
Tourists come here with great enthusiasm and leave disappointed because they do not get anything to see.
The biggest thing is that there is no ghost here. This is just an illusion of the mind

This place has a history. Not very haunted, but it's better if you take a guide along who can share the story behind bhangarh being haunted. There are many stories with different versions. The guide asked for 400, but we paid 300/-. A lot of walking is required here. It can take around 1-2hours to cover the complete place.

Visited with friends on a weekend. It was bustling with crowd, big enough parking. Lots of monkeys and langoor, so take care of your immediate belongings.
Good walk till top of fort from where u get a good aerial view. There are few chambers where u still feel silence and vacuum even when people are outside. It opens at 6 am and last entry is till 5 pm.

2 hours away from Jaipur city. The fort is mainly ruins. Famous for the haunted story and mainly the movie Karan Arjun movie set was on this fort.
Need a full day to visit here, no other site seeing you can include in this trip. If you have extra time in hand then you can visit here. Otherwise not much to see.
Now Guides are available there. They charge differently depending on the tourist. So bargain hard.
Otherwise if you know the fort background story then you can roam around also.
Beware of Monkeys. Don't carry foods.
Airy quarters in a laid-back hotel offering a restaurant & a terrace, plus countryside views.
We visited Fort Madogarh during winter and had a very comfortable stay. The staff are wonderful and our room was an absolute delight. What other reviewers say is true, there were blackouts, but personally the experience we had here was significantly better than several 3 and 4 star hotels in the bigger cities and the people working here made it a delight. I was able to live out a dream of staying in a castle and while some other places we stayed were more fully renovated, they didn't have the spectacular views and the smiling staff. We visited with intrepid and for me this was the absolute highlight of our trip.

A building of great character and interest, BUT the staff mostly had an extremely 'can't be bothered' attitude, the plumbing was very poor. The beer was served warm until we complained, the buffet dinner was average but the breakfast was very poor compared with all other Indian hotels we have stayed in.
A dog in the hotel yard barked hourly and kept many of us awake.
It could be so much better given good management and better staff.

Please note only people who book rooms for stay are allowed inside. Visitors those who want to explore the fort from inside, even if ready to pay entry fee, or eat something inside as it is a resort is not possible. We even requested over phone as we went from Jaipur to visit the fort, however our request was declined. The fort has been converted and not restored.
Anurag Sharma — Google review
Oh no. I didn't have a great time here, mostly because there were a lot of bugs in the room.
The fort is fun to explore, definitely a playground. The history is amazing, the views are impressive. And the staff is so kind that I hate to leave a sad review.
No AC, weak wifi (only in common area), no hot water -- not problems. So many bugs (particularly spiders) in the room is a problem for me.
I stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour, and it was by far my least favorite moment. Others in my tour group said it was their favorite stay of the trip, so I think it really depends on which room you get.

Mixed Feelings at Fort Madhogarh - Beautiful Views but Lacking Comfort
Fort Madhogarh, located near Jaipur, is an exceptionally beautiful place with stunning views that left a lasting impression on me. However, my overall experience was somewhat dampened by the lack of comfort in the accommodations.
Being aware that there was no air conditioning, I was prepared to rely on the provided desert cooler. Unfortunately, the cooler was not functioning properly during my stay, and this significantly impacted my ability to get a good night's sleep. The staff did fix the cooler the following morning, but it was too late for me to benefit from it.
In addition to the cooler issue, the beds were quite small and uncomfortable for a person of my height (6 feet). I also had to request that the staff replace the sheets on the bed, which was not an ideal experience.
On the positive side, the staff member who attended to us was kind and accommodating. However, it was apparent that the hotel was understaffed, with only one person responsible for most of the work.
As for the food, I was disappointed to find out that the meals were brought in from outside and not freshly prepared on the premises. The reheated chapatis lacked freshness and taste. Additionally, the electricity was unstable during our stay, with several interruptions over the course of the night.
While the beauty and views of Fort Madhogarh are undeniable, the overall experience did not meet my expectations. The lack of comfort and basic amenities, coupled with the malfunctioning cooler, left me feeling unsatisfied. If you plan on staying here, be prepared to make some compromises for the sake of the stunning location.

I stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour and didn't have a great experience unfortunately. During the less than 24 hours I spent at the Fort, we experienced 6 blackouts, no water supply in most rooms and definitely no air conditioning. The rooms were dangerously warm at night with no relief. I ended up having to sleep on a couch in the central lobby area, as it was a bit cooler. Not to mention the infestation of ants, silverfish, beetles and mosquitos.
Would not recommend anyone stay here.

Amber Palace, also known as Amer Fort, is a stunning architectural marvel in Jaipur that showcases an exquisite blend of Indian and Mughal styles. This historical site was home to wealthy Maharajas and features intricate designs in pink and yellow sandstone with white marble embellishments. Visitors can enjoy elephant rides up the cobbled path to experience royal treatment. The fort's beauty has been preserved through centuries of war and conflict, making it a must-see attraction.
Amazing experience. The fort is beautiful and the guide takes you around the fort explaining all the details and key notes about the history. There are several view points and photography points to take good pictures. You can also take elephant ride inside the fort. Must visit palace!

Must visit, before reading Wiki or after hiring a guide but beware..you will end up buying the stuff you don't need. Tip - visit at the earliest to get ample parking space. Take your car and follow google map, it will show you entire path till parking on top. Any car can go above, provided you can drive or if it's an old car, you can still go with ease if you simply reach there early morning around 8. Ticker counter opens at 8AM

The fort is marvelous! It has got all the pomp it could have. You will start enjoying its beauty as we touch the road towards the fort. There are elephant rides that take you to the fort, which foreigners hardly miss😅. It is very big, every structure in the fort is intricately decorated, thoughtfully created. I think it's one of the few forts in India which stands with that level of preservation. This fort is truly an identity of the 'Gulabi Sheher'! Jaipur trip can't be complete without a visit to Amber fort.

Lovely fort. Must visit if you are in Jaipur and you love forts. The place is humongous. The front portion of the fort looks mesmerizing with the lake in front. Try to visit there as early as possible. The place holds so much history and is built for such a long time. Every section of the fort has something or other to offer. Check out all the places. Just imagining while standing there as what it might have felt in its prime is magnificent.

Jaipur trip must start with Amer/Amber fort. Highly recommended to visit in evening so that one can enjoy the lights in the Palace.
Hire a local guide and a Jeep to carry you from the parking space to the top of fort. May try personal vehicle if familiar.
There is a light and sound show but locals don't recommend it.
Hiring the guide is must to understand the history of the palace.

Amber Fort needs maintenance, Although it is declared as a world heritage site. Such as restoration of painting, walls, etc, so that it can attract more visitors. They need to maintain parking facilities at the front and rear gates.
LOKESH REDDY — Google review
A historical palace and a must visit fort in Jaipur. This fort will take around 2-3 hours to visit entirely. The interiors of the fort are mesmerizing. If you take the guide, they will explain all the history of the palace, which is very interesting. There is a cave from within the palace that goes to Jaigarh fort, but it closes at 4. The fort looks even better in the evening when the lighting starts.
You can either walk up the stairs to reach the palace, or take a jeep (Rs. 500 per jeep for up and down) or take your own car to the top where there is parking space available.
There is also a light and sound show that tells the history of the fort's construction and expansion. The entrance of the light and sound show is at a different place outside the palace. You can take your own car to the light and sound show place, won't recommend taking the auto or jeep from the parking for this.

Fantastic place with so much history. Make sure to get a guide (400 or so rupees) to really learn what this beautiful place was all about. Massive palace sitting on the mountain in the middle of a jungle. Such a wonder how these structures were built so long ago and are still standing so sturdy today. The sun and water palace is amazing.

City of forts and palaces - Jaipur. When you are driving from Delhi Amber Palace is the 1st palace you will encounter. This Palace is located 10-12km form city on the outskirts overlooking the city. Its a very huge palace from where you can see the walls on the hills. We visited here around 15:00 in April. It was very hot. If you are reaching in noon do take a water bottle and a cap. Don't get in touch with any local guide as they give wrong information's. We can take our own vehicle up and till the entrance of the palace.
This palace needs an entry ticket of 50/- per head (Both offline & online available). Also, night light show is available and it starts from 19:00 till 22:00 with 21:30 as last entry. A beautiful place to see the sunset tooo.
Enjoy the beauty of AMBER Palace/.!!

Fort is beautiful. It gets really hot during the summer so recommended travel is in slightly cooler days. There is no wheel chair accessibility to the top. There are folks asking for elephant rides near the ticket counter, it’s a humble request do not do it - since the elephants are poorly treated and sometimes they scam you by taking you nowhere.

One of the best places in Jaipur. The fort is simple and neat. The fort's narrow route through the Amer Village is a unique experience that comes along. Note: Opting out a guide will be a good add-on.
(There is a "light Show" after 7:30pm, but i missed it.)

A must see in Jaipur. It’s grandeur and beauty is well maintained and the view from the palace is awesome. Be prepared for a long walk. I recommend visiting early in the morning, with a guide and possibly during off season. We were told that during peak season the wait time for vehicles to climb the hill is 2 hours or more. Do visit the ancient temples nearby.

Sheesh Mahal, also known as the Mirror Palace, is a stunning pavilion within Amber Fort that was once used by the imperial family. The palace is renowned for its intricate mirror work, featuring traditional motifs and lotus designs adorning thousands of small mirrors. It is said that even the light from a single candle could illuminate the entire Sheesh Mahal. This historical gem served as the backdrop for iconic scenes in Bollywood films and has become a popular spot for visitors seeking Instagram-worthy photos.
Indian entry fee per person 100/-
Foreign entry fee per person 500/-
Sheesh Mahal is also known as the Mirror Palace. Gorgeous precious stones and glass, beautifully hand-crafted paintings make Sheesh Mahal a wonder.It is the most well-known and attractive feature of Amer Fort, constructed by Maharaja Man Singh in the 16th century. However, by 1727 AD, the construction had come to an end. In ancient times, the queen was not permitted to sleep outside. She desired to be able to see the stars while sleeping. As a result, the king asked his architects to design a mahal that would remedy the issue. The reflections of the candles in the glass ceiling mirror keep the space warm. You can no longer enter the hall of Sheesh mahal, but you can admire the fantastic artwork on the Sheesh mahal's glass from the outside. The hall's walls and ceiling consists of exquisite artwork and flowers made of pure glass and valuable stone. And the location of the ceiling glass is fantastic. Because of this, if someone lights two candles, the reflection changes that modest light into thousands of stars, which looks fantastic and gives you an idea of the degree of architecture in India at the time.

Explore the epitome of royal opulence at the Sheesh Mahal, the resplendent glass palace nestled within the historic Amer Fort in Jaipur, also known as the Pink City. This architectural masterpiece is a vivid testament to the artistic brilliance of Rajasthan's royalty.
The Sheesh Mahal, or the "Mirror Palace," stands as a mesmerizing blend of Islamic and Rajput architectural influences, showcasing intricate mirror work, exquisite glass mosaics, and captivating handmade paintings. Built by King Man Singh during the 16th century and completed in 1727, this palace is a manifestation of the king's desire to provide a celestial experience for his queen.
One of the most iconic aspects of the Sheesh Mahal is its unique ceiling design, adorned with glass and precious stones. By the flicker of just two candles, this ceiling transforms into a breathtaking celestial panorama, resembling a starlit night sky. This ingenious design served both aesthetic and functional purposes, as it not only created an enchanting ambiance but also retained warmth during the colder months.
The Sheesh Mahal's significance extends to the realm of cinema as well. It served as the enchanting backdrop for the legendary song "Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya" from the classic Bollywood film "Mughal-e-Azam," starring the iconic Madhubala. This artistic fusion of architecture and cinema has left an indelible mark in history.
Though the interior access to the Sheesh Mahal is currently restricted, the exterior offers a tantalizing glimpse of the intricate glasswork that defines its magnificence. With a simple flashlight pointed at the ceiling, you can witness a glimpse of the starry spectacle that once enamored the palace's occupants.
Visiting this gem requires a modest entry fee, which varies for Indian and foreign tourists, along with camera charges. The Sheesh Mahal welcomes visitors from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, inviting them to step into a world where architecture and celestial beauty intertwine.

The pinkcity houses some of the best looking royal palaces of Rajasthan one of which is the Sheesh Mahal, the glass palace of Jaipur. Made with extremely opulent decor and beauty of the architecture the Sheesh Mahal provides us a glimpse of the royal artistry and love for aesthetics. The construction of the Mahal is a wonderful specimen of Islamic architectural influence on Rajasthani architecture. This royal palace is a perfect blend of Islamic style and Rajput mix.
Sheesh mahal and also called as the mirror palace is one of the refined magnificent piece of architecture built with beautiful precious stones and glass, coated with beautiful handmade paintings. Sheesh mahal is the most popular and beautiful part of Amer Fort. It is located in Amer, Jaipur.
This palace was built by king Man Singh in 16th century and completed in 1727. It is also the foundation year of jaipur state. This palace is also known for the bollywood legendary movie “Mughal-e-Azam” iconic song “Jab pyar kiya to darna kya”. It was shot in Sheesh Mahal on legendary actress Madhubala which played the role of “Anarkali” in the movie. And the combo of both “Sheesh mahal” and Madhubala came out excellent and rest was history.
The wall and ceiling of the hall is carved with beautiful paintings and flowers which was made of pure glass and precious stone. And the placement of ceiling glass is wonderful. Because of this if someone burns two candles, then the reflection converts that small light into thousand of stars and it looks awesome and by this you can get the idea of what was the level of architecture in that time in India.
The reason behind why this mahal was made by glass because in ancient days the queen was not allowed to sleep in open air but she loved to see the stars while sleeping. Hence the king ordered his architects to make that kind of mahal which could solve the problem. The architects built Sheesh mahal which was built with stones and glass and at night the reflection of two candles in glass looked like stars in the whole room. The King used to shift from Sukh Niwas to Sheesh Mahal in winter season. The ceiling of mirror glass reflection from the candles keep the room warm. Now days entry in the Sheesh mahal is restricted however from the outside we can see the beautiful art work of the glass in the Sheesh mahal and with a flash light pointing to the ceiling we can easily see the stars in the morning. Hence because of the queen we are able to witness the beautiful architecture which is one of the reason for the fame of the famous fort Amber.

Jaipur, often referred to as the "Pink City" due to the distinct color of its historic buildings, is a city steeped in rich history and architectural splendor. Among the many landmarks that adorn this city, Jal Mahal stands out as a unique and captivating masterpiece. This review aims to delve into the intricate details, historical significance, architectural marvel, and overall experience of visiting Jal Mahal in Jaipur.
**Introduction:**
Jal Mahal, literally translated as the "Water Palace," is a breathtaking palace located in the midst of the Man Sagar Lake, just outside Jaipur. Its picturesque setting amidst the tranquil waters makes it a sight to behold and an essential stop for any traveler exploring the city. The palace is a five-story structure, with four levels submerged in the lake's waters during the monsoon season, giving the illusion of floating on the lake.
**Historical Significance:**
Built during the 18th century, during the reign of Maharaja Madho Singh I, Jal Mahal was intended to serve as a leisure retreat for the royal family and their entourage. The palace's location in the center of the lake allowed for privacy and exclusivity, creating an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city.
**Architectural Marvel:**
Jal Mahal seamlessly blends elements of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles, resulting in a harmonious and captivating design. The palace's lower levels are made of red sandstone, a hallmark of Rajput architecture, while the upper floors exhibit delicate Mughal-style ornamental work. This unique fusion of styles showcases the cultural synthesis that was prevalent during that era.
**Design and Layout:**
The palace's design is a symphony of intricate details and thoughtful planning. The chhatris (domed pavilions) on the rooftop are adorned with lotus motifs and elegantly carved jali (lattice) screens, allowing for ventilation and a play of light and shadow. The chhatri on the central dome is particularly impressive, acting as the crown jewel of the palace's design.
**Natural Integration:**
What truly sets Jal Mahal apart is its remarkable integration with the natural environment. The palace seems to rise organically from the lake's waters, with its reflection creating a mesmerizing mirror image on the still surface. The surrounding Aravalli hills and the lush greenery further enhance the ethereal beauty of the scene.
**Conservation Efforts:**
Over the years, Jal Mahal faced significant challenges due to environmental degradation and neglect. The lake's pollution and the deterioration of the palace's structure raised concerns about its survival. However, conservation efforts have been initiated to restore the palace to its former glory. This includes cleaning the lake, restoring the architectural elements, and implementing measures to control pollution.
**Visitor Experience:**
Visiting Jal Mahal is a sensory delight. The journey to the palace involves a leisurely drive through the bustling city, followed by a tranquil boat ride on the lake to reach the palace. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills during sunrise or sunset is a sight that leaves a lasting impression. The palace isn't open to the public for exploration inside, but its exterior beauty and the surrounding scenery offer ample opportunities for photography and contemplation.
**Cultural Significance:**
Jal Mahal stands as a testament to Jaipur's architectural prowess and cultural heritage. It embodies the opulence and refinement of the bygone era, offering a glimpse into the extravagant lifestyle of the royals. The palace's location also serves as a reminder of the Maharajas' connection with nature and their ability to create harmonious retreats within the urban landscape.
**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, Jal Mahal is more than just a palace; it's a living testament to the creative genius of the architects of its time. Its blend of architectural styles, integration with nature, and historical significance make it a jewel in Jaipur's crown. A visit to Jal Mahal is an immersive experience that transp

It can only be sighted from far. You can't visit it. The periphery of the lake is beautifully developed, and a lot of street vendors are available there selling Rajasthani crafts, etc. It's a good tourist place to hang out. The mahal is beautiful, but not something to be in awe of.

It is a very iconic place in Jaipur, the temple on the lake. It reminded me of Udaipur’s White Palace. There is a very nice promenade around the lake, very lively, that offers great photography opportunities of both the palace and the visitors.

Best time to visit this place is in the evening. One can not go near or enter this place as this Mahal is located in the middle of the Lake. There is place for the visitors on the bank of the Lake just beside the road to enjoy the view of this place. This can be planned during the visit to Amer fort as this is on the way. Probably a beautiful place of the evening to spend some time in your Jaipur visit.

The structure is beautiful to see, an ancient Palace in the middle of a water body! A must visit place and you have to take a pic here if you are in Jaipur. Besides looking at this structure, there is nothing much to do. You can feed the fishes, but I didn't even see one, maybe because it was mid summer day. Sadly no cafe to sit and enjoy the beauty of this place. Surroundings not very clean. It's on the way to Amer Fort so you won't miss it!

The lake was well maintained and water was good as my visit was just during monsoon
No one is allowed to enter the palace on water and all need to take photos from the road side
The scenic beauty is captured in the video enclosed herewith
It’s a must visit to this place and you can take few photos in 10 min
There are plenty of shops available where you can bargain and buy all gift items

Just viewing this great architecture from Rajputs is a privilege not lot of Indians are aware of.
It is told to us that it's bottom two floors are submerged in water but it is still standing and was designed is such a fashion that it will last long. You can't go in there but go at evening time and with plenty of snacks available around you will have a good evening. Kulfi is rs30 but they try to overprice everyone. Go for Amul stall parked at road.

ajeeta — Google review
The Jal Mahal, or "Water Palace", is a five-story palace built in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, India. The palace is built entirely of red sandstone and is a combination of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. The palace is one of the most popular attractions in Jaipur.
The palace was originally intended to be a hunting lodge for the local king. However, in the 16th century, a severe drought caused the locals to build a dam, which created a lake that submerged the lower portions of the lodge. The palace's stone walls hold back millions of liters of water, and the specially designed lime mortar prevents water seepage into the palace. The palace's top floor is visible above the water, giving the impression that the palace is floating on the lake.
The palace was commissioned by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century.

The place looks absolutely serene sitting quietly in the middle of the lake. The architectural elegance is absolutely mesmerizing as the place seems to be floating on water. To get the best experience you should visit the place early in the morning or during twilight. Also, the best views would be when the sky is completely blue, because it will give a nice hue to the water. Also, it's a great place for bird watchers.
However, the water of the lake is extremely dirty as people feed fishes and birds, which is restricted by the government. Proper maintenance should be in place for such a beautiful historical monument.

The Lake Palace of Jaipur is an architectural marvel. Nestled in the middle of the lake it is no doubt a treat to watch from the shore. However, as a tourist we are not allowed to enter the building and the charm ends with a few clicks from the shore. Hopefully someday it is renovated enough for the tourist to enjoy its glamour from within through a short boat ride.
While visitors can admire the palace from a distance and enjoy its beauty, entry inside is restricted to maintain its preservation and conservation

Visiting Jal Mahal in Jaipur was an unforgettable experience. The architectural beauty of this water palace surrounded by the Man Sagar Lake is simply mesmerizing. It’s a perfect blend of history and natural beauty. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills is breathtaking, especially during sunset. Although access to the interior of the palace is restricted, the ambiance alone makes it worth a visit. A must-see attraction for anyone exploring Jaipur!
Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds, is a significant landmark in Jaipur. Built in 1799, this stunning palace was designed as a high screen wall made of pink and red sandstone with 953 jharokhas or windows. It allowed royal women to observe street festivities while maintaining their privacy due to the purdah system.
Hawa Mahal is one of the main attractions of Jaipur.
You can click pictures here from outside without giving any money or take a ticket for 50/-(Indian) and visit from inside as well.
The view from outside is different in the morning and evening.
I'll suggest something between 5-6 so, you can see both the views.
Hawa Mahal has a good market and a connecting metro line as well.
There are 2 cafes in front of hawa Mahal the food there is amazing.
Enjoy your trip. 👍

It's the most familial monument of Jaipur. You can easily spent a hour exploring it's nuke and corners.

Beautiful place! We went there just after Holi and the crowd was too much but apart from that the palace is beautiful, well maintained and worth the visit! The famous outer walls can be seen from the streets itself but for roaming inside the palace one needs to buy tickets.

Hawa Mahal is the heart of Jaipur city.... Beautiful, symmetric and mesmerizing !!!
Are situated in the main city and is thus generally crowded, especially in the evening.
It has been a year since I visit at this palace. And I'm still in a hangover of this beautiful palace.
The entry fees is rupees 50 per head. And you are allowed cameras and mobile phones and all your bags with you. On entering the palace you see a beautiful fountain which is a good place for taking pictures as the palace will also be visible in the background.
Then you just have to climb and keep climbing the stairs tell you reach the top. From there you have the citi's aerial view. There are multi coloured glasses on the window covers that looks really beautiful. In the place is usually windy on the top.
A few things that I found amazing about this palace are mini windows on the gallery, the symmetry of the palace, colourful windows and the city view from the top.
Really had a great experience visiting this palace "The Heart of the Pink City- Jaipur" !!

Beautiful facade on the outside from the main street. Entrance is a road just before the facade and then you turn right (it’s well signposted). Entrance fee is 200 rupees for foreigners and it’s gets very busy with school trips so just be aware when your there it can be a lot of people pushing to get up and down the connecting corridors for the views on the top floors. View from the top was nice but I prefer to look at the building itself from across the street.

In my opinion, it was a great experience to see the whole city of Jaipur from the top of the Hawa Mahal. It was like being in a hawa flowing with its assistance in the top. I would appreciate it if you visited it once at night. The magical view of the city at night is simply breathtaking, with the twinkling lights and stars in the sky and the city lit up like a fairytale. It creates an ambience of romance and mystery that is hard to resist, and it's a great way to experience the city of Jaipur in a unique way. The Hawa Mahal is one of the most iconic landmarks of Jaipur, and it is especially stunning at night. From the terrace of the Hawa Mahal, you can get a spectacular view of the city and its many monuments, all lit up in the night sky. The beauty of the Hawa Mahal at night is truly captivating, and it is an experience that you should not miss. All in all, the Hawa Mahal at night is a magical experience that will stay with you for a long time.

Hawa Mahal is the magnificent architecture built from red and pink sandstone and is on the edge of the City Palace. It is also known as Palace of the Winds and Palace of the Breeze. I loved the colored glass-work because when the sunlight enters, the entire chamber lit beautifully which is an awe moment. I was lucky as I got to the fountain raising and soaring to a great height.
Entry fees for Indians is Rs 50 and for Foreigners it's Rs 200. For students it's 25 (just carry your ID Card) and joy the breath taking views from the top of the 12th floor of Hawa Mahal (a must for someone who is not afraid of heights).

Absolutely beautiful....I can see why it's one of the top places to visit in Jaipur. One advice before you visit Hawa Mahal would be don't go during the day... you'll be cooked in sun. The beautiful photo of the Hawa Mahal you see everywhere is not inside but actually outside and can be best enjoyed from one of the several cafes on the opposite side of the road.
If you're just visiting for that amazing photo of the palace. Just go to the tattoo cafe or something.

A very nice place of historical value. This place is more for people who love ancient monuments and architecture. Although there isn't a great deal inside to explore, it's nice place to get some good photos. Entry ticket costs 52 as of the time of writing this. You will spend about 40 mins inside.
However, this place is beautifully lit at night and many people come to take photos, due to which the road gets congested.

A very cool structure that is a must see in Jaipur. I was looking around while driving, and all of a sudden it’s just there! Pops out of nowhere, so be prepared. The street was over crowded and busy! Tons of cars so it was difficult to even cross the street and get a full on view. Crowds make it a bit harder to get a full, unobstructed view of it. But it is beautiful and well worth it! An historic piece worth seeing.

Title: Mesmerizing Night View at Hawa Mahal, Jaipur
I recently had the opportunity to visit the iconic Hawa Mahal in Jaipur during the evening hours, and the experience was nothing short of enchanting. The stunning architecture of this historical monument comes alive under the magical glow of the night lights, creating a truly mesmerizing sight that left me in awe.
As I stood in front of the intricately designed facade of the Hawa Mahal, I couldn't help but marvel at the intricate lattice work and the countless windows that allowed the cool evening breeze to flow through. The play of light and shadow on the sandstone walls gave the structure a mystical aura that transported me back in time to the royal era of Rajasthan.
The lively atmosphere around the Hawa Mahal added to the charm of the visit, with street vendors selling local snacks and souvenirs, and crowds of visitors enjoying the beauty of the monument. The view from the top floors of the Hawa Mahal offered a panoramic vista of Jaipur city illuminated by the shimmering lights, making it a picture-perfect moment that I will cherish forever.
Overall, the night visit to Hawa Mahal was a delightful experience filled with history, culture, and scenic beauty. I would highly recommend this enchanting spot to anyone visiting Jaipur, especially during the evening hours when the monument truly shines in all its glory.
In conclusion, my visit to Hawa Mahal under the night sky was a memorable and breathtaking experience that exceeded all my expectations. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to soak in the vibrant heritage and architectural marvels of Jaipur.
Happy Travels,

Hawa Mahal is a captivating masterpiece of architecture in Jaipur, where you can immerse yourself in history, capture beautiful photos, and experience the vibrant culture of the city. Its distinctive honeycomb-like facade adorned with intricate latticework is a visual delight. As the sun began its descent, the iconic structure, also known as the "Palace of Winds," seemed to come alive with a golden hue, casting a mesmerizing glow over the intricate honeycomb facade.

During my most recent trip to Jaipur, I was awestruck by the Hawa Mahal, which is a magnificent marvel that deserves to be admired. It is a testament to Jaipur's rich architectural tradition that this monumental edifice, which is sometimes referred to as the "Palace of Winds," was once built. Both the elaborate lattice work and the pink sandstone masonry are examples of a genuinely exceptional combination of engineering and artistic skill.
One can get a look into the royal past of Jaipur by visiting the Hawa Mahal, which is a popular tourist attraction. Not only does the one-of-a-kind design, which features a multitude of windows, serve as an architectural wonder, but it also offers a practical answer to the region's sweltering heat, enabling the royal ladies to view street festivities in a discrete manner.
The amenities at the Hawa Mahal are kept in good condition, and there are instructive plaques posted throughout the building that provide historical context and specifics about the landmark. The procedure for entering is easy, and the personnel is well-informed and willing to assist as needed. The panoramic views that can be seen from the upper levels are quite beautiful and provide a wonderful vantage point from which to take in the splendor of the city.
In close proximity to the Hawa Mahal is a lively shopping district that contributes to the region's overall allure. Shopping enthusiasts will find a veritable paradise in the bustling bazaars that surround the palace. These bazaars sell traditional Rajasthani handicrafts, textiles, and jewelry. Exploring the adjacent markets and participating in the culture of the area is a pleasant experience that one should not miss out on.
In conclusion, the Hawa Mahal is highly recommended as a site in Jaipur since it not only provides an insight into the royal history of the city but also provides an experience that is visually magnificent. The facilities, in conjunction with the shopping areas that are located nearby, make it a well-rounded excursion that offers the ideal combination of historical significance and the vitality of the local community.

Jantar Mantar, located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is an 18th-century astronomical observatory and UNESCO World Heritage site. It showcases the scientific and astronomical expertise of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II through a collection of large instruments designed to observe celestial phenomena with precision. The site features sundials, astronomical clocks, and measuring tools including the Samrat Yantra, the world's largest sundial.
One of the best old and rich science & engineering concepts I have ever visited. The items were manufactured with extreme precision. It clearly says the relationship between the position of sun and the time, really a beautiful place to visit with proper understanding. Do see some of the YouTube videos available on these concepts. You will also get a chance to see the video on the basic concepts from their office. A must visit place.

Jantar mantar is one of the most important and wonderful monument built by Raja Jai Singh II. There are total 5 Jantar Mantars in India- Jaipur, Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. But today only functional one is at Jaipur and i have heard that the one in Mathura is demolished. The jantar mantar located in jaipur has 19 instruments.
The beauty of this monument is that you can find exact local time with the help of Sun. Hence it is sun based and would jot work during rainy season or in cloudy weather. Astrologically it is important as today also many astrologers visit to find the exact position of nakshatra. In older days this monument used to find local time and rashi and nakshatra of the new born, based on which the kundali was prepared. It even tells the in which sun sign the child is born and it has all 12 sun signs for further predictions. Hence those who follow sun signs, this place is master piece, as i mentioned earlier it is based on sun and it works during day time when sun is there.

From predicting horoscopes to studying constellations, the depth of knowledge on display was impressive. Despite the crowds on weekends, getting tickets for 50rs each, either at the counter or through UPI, was easy. The puppet doll show was a delightful addition to the experience.

If you visit at noon, consider to use your hat and sunglasses, as it is a bit hot.

tldr; Absolutely mind blowing. Must visit, especially if you are interested in astronomy and mathematics.
This is a group of astrological instruments that mostly work on solar movement and the position of stars. You can see the gigantic creation and get yourself mesmerized with the level of accuracy and the maths that is involved.
There are a lot of yantra and each of them provides one or more data points, by combining them you can gather much more data about the movement of starts and time.
The big sundial was mind blowing, given the fact that it had ~2 second accuracy builds hundreds of years ago.
Don't miss this if you visit Jaipur. There is a video hall as well, where how each instrument works is explained in very simple language.

Exploring Jantar Mantar at 2:00 pm this afternoon was a fascinating dive into astronomical precision and historical ingenuity. The sundials and instruments, bathed in the afternoon sun, showcased the scientific brilliance of ancient Rajput astronomers.

W had very low expectations for this place. We had budgeted for less than an hour and ended up
spending more than two hours. The reason - a good English speaking guide.
He explained very well and our interest in astronomy made the difference. The instruments made 100s of years ago and technology that existed was amazing.
Spend some time there and get a good guide and that will make a difference.

This is a historical astronomical observatory located in Jaipur. We visited it around 10 am local time so it wasn't that crowded. I would recommend hiring a guide.
The instruments are though provoking and make you go 'Wow'. Overall a good experience.

What a beautiful place it is !!
Jantar Mantar is one of the historical monuments in Jaipur (Rajasthan).
This is one of the five Jantar Mantar(s). This is still functional. This place is very well maintained. The added photo is the biggest sun dial, and the time depicted here is very close to the exact one (less than 10 seconds). The best time to visit is winter time (Dec - Feb) and during day light and clear sky. Clear sky let the sun light make a shadow and you will relate with all the sun dials here and understand it's functioning.
Happy Learning !!

Its a must see for anybody interested in Astronomy & Astrology. Some of the oldest functioning clocks, star finders, planet locators which were also used to make horoscopes, predict the future, rashis etc and also to predict the weather. A guide is a must else its impossible to know what you are looking at. Place is clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.

First thing first, come visit only if you have enough time. Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a captivating blend of astronomy and architecture. The intricately designed structures, dating back to the 18th century, showcase ancient astronomical instruments. Visitors are treated to a fascinating journey through time, learning about celestial phenomena and historical advancements. However, limited signage and crowded conditions may detract from the experience.

Amazing place going back in time.
World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Jantar Mantar attracts tourists, historians, astronomers, architects, mathematicians, and geographers. There is collection of nineteen astronomical instruments in total in Jantar Mantar. The monument is an exemplification of architectural innovations that was built on ideas from different religious and social beliefs in 18th-century India.

Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India
The City Palace in Jaipur is an opulent 18th-century palace that once served as the residence of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and is now a museum. It's a popular historical attraction known for its beautiful collection of paintings, textile gallery, armory, Durbar hall, BaggiKhana, and SarvatoBhadraor (Diwan E-Khas) with exquisite architectural beauty.
It is a beautiful place to visit during day. Very photogenic place. A link of royal lineage, feel the royalty genre.
Remember to take a guide as it will be worth to take one otherwise you would come out without knowing the history and importance of this palace. There is a market inside the palace where local handcrafted items are displayed, prices are on higher side but if you want to support local craftsmanship then please buy from them as the money you spend here will directly help these awesome local creative people, most of them has received recognition from PM and government of India.

Jaipur is one city that transports you back to the Rajput era the moment you set foot there. It is dotted with architectural wonders and that is the reason why the city sees a good tourist footfall all year round. One such architectural delight right at the center of Jaipur is the City Palace; a symbol of the regal and royal days of the city.
City Palace is a building that has preserved the history of the city and is an icon of grandeur. Once you enter the palace all you can do is stand transfixed by its beauty while you soak in the marvelous architecture and the artifacts inside the palace. City Palace used to be the home for the royal family of Jaipur but later it was divided into two parts; one which contains few courtyards and museums and the other where the royal family still resides.
Vishnu Kumar Saini — Google review
Nice palace complex in Jaipur with some interesting little exhibits in museums, the armour and weapons one being the highlight. The complex itself has a bunch of ticket options, with the most beautiful areas reserved for an expensive guided experience, so if you want to just look through yourself without a guide you won’t be able to see these nice parts of the place.
The basic combined ticket for 700 rupees will let you wander around the different areas and museums of the place which was still nice but it would be good to have an option to see the other parts on your own.

Still a nice place.Real big part of it is still inhabited by the kings descendents. Part of the palace is falling down , lack of maintenance. I was told by the guide that the dispute regarding whether the kings family or the government owns that portion was in the courts.Some parts are getting restored. Overall nice palace.

Nestled in the heart of Jaipur, this palace is a must-visit, offering a glimpse into the city's rich heritage and culture. Explore a treasure trove of artifacts, architecture, ornaments, garments, vehicles, and insights into the royal lifestyle. For a captivating experience, enter the palace area at 5:30 PM during winters to witness its grandeur in both daylight and under lights before it closes at 6 PM. Noteworthy, the palace remains the residence of the royal family, adding an extra layer of historical resonance.

Beautiful place to visit if you are in or around Jaipur.
Brilliant show of ancient and traditional designs and blend of colours.
I would recommend to go in without a guide as there is not much history to explain. Even a small intro video would be more than enough for it.
Entry fee for Indians is around 200, and use student card if possible for half rates.
It's a photogenic place but overcrowded.
Food Tales — Google review
The one of the best places in Jaipur and the most beautiful thing about this is there is still the king is here and if the flag hosted there is two the king is inside the palace,the architecture, paintings,dresses ,wow the main reason why everyone are still visiting India is that even without technology, mechanical advancement they managed to do amazing, extraordinary instruments which was perfectly based on calculation
Cons-
Rate for things which is sold inside is hell expensive but its usual in tourism spots ,
We must depend on local guide or packages and the places near are little dangerous and don't fell for scams
- i prefer taking food from were you are departing

Of course, no doubt, one of the best heritage which is kept preserved. One thing, there are so many old things which they don't allow photography.. I can understand flash can have some light exposure but at least let people take photos without flash. It will help people know what is inside.
Amit — Google review
The ticket to see all rooms is incredibly expensive. But they are also some of the most beautiful I’ve seen on my trip tomorrow so far. Plus, given the price, there aren’t many people in line to take pictures. The building itself is 5 stars.
Be aware, that the tour guide adds - as always and super annoying - a shop to this tour. Just be prepared to not be scammed. There seems to be not price in the world you can pay to avoid tour guides in this city to not bring you to their best friends shop. He made us leave the palace and where then being brought back.
I should suggest there must be a way for the ticket office to prevent such things. It’s highly annoying and always gives the whole experience a taste of bitterness.

A visit to this splendid palace is a journey through history. The palace seems to breathe, alive with the echoes of royal footsteps and the hushed whispers of history. The fusion of artistry and functionality is apparent in every detail.
It invites visitors to step into the shoes of history. I'd definitely visit again.

Very well maintained and a rich museum! Worth visiting during the day as well as night for the beautiful lighting all around the palace. Set aside sufficient time to explore the entire palace grounds..not the place if you're in a rush.

This is one of the MUST visit royal heritages in Jaipur. Entry fees is 200 rupees for resident indians, guide charges are extra.
2-3 hours are more than sufficient to visit this place including group photographs sessions.
There are few galleries where taking photographs is not allowed.
Places like photography hall, weapons hall are quite good.
There are few shops and restaurants situated inside this place.

It's a must visit if you're in Jaipur. The city palace is so named after the residence of the royal highness. It was built hundreds of years back.
There are various types of tickets available to enter it ranging from 300 to 3500 rupees. The 300 rs ticket will give you access to the museum and the outer part of the city palace, the 1500 rs ticket will give you access to the inside of the city palace whereas the 3500 one includes visit to the royal blue coloured palace that you'll find in the pictures.
We went with a 300 rupees entry as we were short of time and that only took an easy 3-4 hours with the help of a tour guide. Moreover, if you'll take a guide they'll take you to all the shops and artisans inside so be mindful of what you want to buy and what not to.
GK Purohit — Google review
Worth visiting for folks who enjoy museums.
•Upkeep and maintenance by the royal family + trust there I believe the 200 INR (Indian Adult) per person may be justified.
•There are other more expensive ticket option available where you are allowed to see more galleries. Read about it on jaipurtouriam.co.in before hand because upon arrival there will be guides harassing you with all kinds of random information.
•Speaking of guides, expect haggling and general annoyance where they will follow you around and urge you to hire them, ofcourse for a fee (500 INR+). Expect this at all tourist places in Jaipur. In my opinion it is absolutely not worth the money because the information they tell you is often not correct and nothing more than what is already available on blogs/websites and also the plaques put in place for tourists to read. Moreover they hurry you along, skip galleries that tend to take longer and push their own agenda on you by taking you to shops so thay they earn further comission.
• City Palace with the 200 INR ticket has 4 Galleries open for view other than the Palace Grounds 1: Armoury 2: Royal Textiles 3: Painting and photographs 4: The royal court. Other than the palace grounds photography is prohibited.
• Overall worth visiting for a few hours. There is also a restaurant and cafe inside but due to pandemic and generally poor reviews didn't try them.

A beautifull place to visit who loves history, museum, old heritage. Though, people come here for instragrammable pic shot only.
Note: 50% discount on tickets if you have student id. Main area of this palace comes under Royal tour which is very costly. Overall, it's a nice place to visit.

The most beautiful and well maintained palace. The king's family is still living here. They gave some parts to the government and the rest of them were for them. We can visit the king's private palace but have to buy a separate ticket for that.in public space we can see the weapons,dresses and photographs of the king's family.

The Palace is worth a visit as it offers some great insights in the life and lifestyle of previous and current Maharajas of Jaipur. The place is well maintained and Clean. It offers ample of space not only to stroll inside but also to sit and Relax. I won't recommend a guide when visiting here. There's ample parking space and requires 2-3 hours to peacefully explore this place.

It was just a magical place with so much of history. Much recommended, if you love the old architecture. They had a handicraft section from where you can buy some amazing crafts made by the local artists. I clicked so many photos there and I just loved the exhibition area with stuff that is old and once belonged to the royal family.

Only concern is entry fee. Since the palace is maintained by king family itself entry fee is costly. Jaipur City Palace is a true gem, deserving of a 5-star rating. The intricate architecture, vibrant colors, and rich history create an enchanting experience. The museum is a treasure trove of royal artifacts, providing a captivating journey through Jaipur's regal past. The breathtaking views of the Pink City from the palace are simply awe-inspiring.

It is a lovely building, quite well preserved in general. It can be a bit chaotic and it is easy to skip some of the parts if you don’t pay attention, since there are not many indications. Every patio is completely different and very well decorated, including the linen collection and the Peacock Gate.

One of the iconic tourist attraction in Jaipur. Ticket price for Indian nationals Rs300 for adult and Rs. For students with vaid ID, digital form (photo of ID) is also accepted.
Photography is not allowed inside the buildings, only allowed in open area.
Carry caps and water bottle in summer.
A small gift shop is decorated in multi color, photography not allowed in store as well.

Very beautiful palace in the heart of Jaipur city. This is a must visit for experiencing the rich heritage and culture, if you’re visiting Jaipur. You can expect to see lots of artifacts, architecture, construction, ornaments, garments, vehicles and insights of the royal lifestyle of Jaipur’s royal family.
Highly recommend to enter the palace area at 5.30 PM during winters (entry closes at 6 PM) to see the palace in day light as well under lights.
Also note, the palace is still the residence of the royal family!

The City Palace in Jaipur is an exceptional monument, offering a rich glimpse into history. Admission prices are reasonable, at ₹300 for adults and ₹150 for kids and students with valid ID, though slightly higher for foreigners, likely around ₹500. Inside, the guide service impresses with bilingual guides fluent in Hindi and English. Personally, I found the Darbar and armory sections particularly fascinating, providing valuable insights into historical warfare tactics. The palace boasts numerous other attractions worth exploring, and its beauty is magnified under the night sky. Without a doubt, a visit to the City Palace comes highly recommended for a memorable and enlightening experience.

Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India
Elefantastic is a sanctuary for Asian elephants in Jaipur, India that offers visitors the opportunity to interact with these majestic animals through activities such as feeding, walking and washing them. Unlike other places, people here are not allowed to ride the elephants. The workers at Elefantastic treat the elephants well and provide visitors with valuable information about the sanctuary and its inhabitants. This unique experience of being close to an elephant is a must-do for any animal lover visiting Jaipur.
Let me state that I am an animal lover/activist and very aware of animal exploitation.
While visiting India I witnessed many working elephants/animals in general in the street which broke my heart. It’s easy to get angry and not want to support the industry. I completely agree with that, but do realize the elephant in India is tradition and I respect that this is their way of life. I researched elephant sanctuaries in Jaipur and also researched elephant experiences out of curiosity. Elephantastic was the most humane one I found. I booked the experience last minute on a Sunday for a Monday. They were very accommodating. I read the bad reviews where people said the phone calls were rude, but I don’t think they understand the Indian culture of being short and to the point, also English is the second language for the owners, so cut them some slack.
I found it confusing to book as they don’t have a direct link on their website to purchase the experience. You must first email them to then have them reply and set up the encounter.
Our experience was 10,200 rupees which was worth EVERY PENNY. If you love animals, this is for you. You are as up close and personal as you want to be. It started with a pickup at our hotel by an amazing driver who was friendly and English speaking. He gave us a tour of the city on our way to the sanctuary.
When we got there, it didn’t look like much but our minds were quickly changed. We had a quick safety talk with the owner and then we were introduced to the elephants. They were a great weight, appear healthy, and happy. We fed them bananas to gain their trust then spent a ton of time petting, loving on her, and speaking with her personal keeper, asking any questions we had. The employees were all friendly and answered all of my inquiries. We continued to take photos while feeding her.
We then gave her a shower which she absolutely loved. The kids in the group next to us painted their elephant (nontoxic) but we passed. We then bathed her where you could see she loved it. From there we walked her (you have to walk through elephant village which is sad because other companies chain their elephants) but once you get to the trail it’s nice and you can see the elephant watering hole. If you’re lucky you can see an elephant happy and bathing. When we got back we were taxi’d to the owners moms house for the most incredible vegetarian food. Easily the best I’ve had while traveling india. The driver then took us back to the hotel. He was sweet and remembered the places we had told him about wanting to check out while making small talk that morning… he brought us to a beautiful textile store and a blue pottery store and also recommended a place for dinner.
Overall, I recommend Elephantastic because they are keeping the Indian tradition alive while offering an alternative to tourists who want to interact with ele’s. They are the most humane option and I choose to support that. I have told my friends about it and will come back the next time I am in Jaipur.

An amazing afternoon with friendly staff and even friendlier elephants! Able to spend several hours interacting with the elephants, feeding them, taking photos and painting them.
Despite the 30-odd degree heat, the area was well covered and shaded, and washing down the elephants (and them washing you!) certainly helped.
After this, we were welcomed into the family home for some lovely homemade food.
Overall, it was an incredible experience with a family who care just as well for their guests as they do their friendly elephants. Thank you to all of the team and family for an unforgettable day!

My friends and I tried very hard to find an ethical elephant sanctuary and it seems these guys do care. We had a lovely day with Pinky the elephant, taking her on a walk and washing her.
It did feel a bit weird when they ask you to sit down then and there and write a TripAdvisor review for them, but hey ho.

Note: The actual location is in "Haathi Gaon".
This place is a must visit for any animal/elephant lover. It's one of the most unique experiences ever. You're assigned an elephant and are allowed to bond with it for 2hrs by feeding, washing, and taking a walk with them. As an animal lover who doesn't like riding them, it was a welcome sight to see a majestic creature given due respect and love it deserves.
Visiting this place is not just pure fun but it's also great for the elephants themselves as they get human contact as well as the fees go towards their food and well being.

I had the privilege of visiting Elefantastic in Jaipur, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. My day was spent with Chaku, a sweet 13-year-old female elephant, and it was love at first sight.
We began with an introduction, where I was immediately impressed by Chaku's gentle nature and friendly demeanor. It was amazing to be able to feed her delicious bananas and juicy leaves. Her affection and gratitude were palpable, making the interaction even more special.
One of the highlights of my visit was painting with natural colors on Chaku. Not only was it fun and creative, but it was also heartwarming to see how much she enjoyed it as we worked. It was clear that she relished being the center of attention and adorning herself with colorful patterns.
The Elefantastic team deserves all the praise for their dedication and care. They took excellent care of not only Chaku but also me and the other visitors. They provided us with refreshing drinks, delicious food, and facilities for showering and changing. I truly felt pampered and looked after throughout my entire stay.
What touched me the most was the loving approach towards the elephants. Elefantastic clearly goes above and beyond mere tourist attractions. They create an environment where the elephants are treated with respect and their well-being is a top priority. This made my experience all the more meaningful, knowing that I was part of something that has a positive impact on these magnificent animals.
If you're looking for a perfect morning filled with interaction and love with elephants, Elefantastic is the ideal destination. It will warm your heart and leave you with unforgettable memories. I cannot recommend them enough!

Wow, what a phenomenal and unique experience!
I came here with my partner while in Jaipur and it was one of the best parts of our trip. The elephants are so well taken care of (people are not allowed to ride the elephants) and you spend a few hours bathing the elephant, feeding it, and walking it. They seem very happy to be with people and in the sanctuary. The workers treat the elephants very well and shared lots of great information about the sanctuary and elephants. It's such a great experience and way for people to be so close to an elephant. This is a must do experience for any animal lover! When I visit Jaipur again, I will definitely come back here.

It Easy an amazing experience we had with the elefantastic family today. Our hearts are so happy I cannot really express completely. They're doing a wonderful job for the people getting to know the elephants in elefantastic.
We spent time with Shakku who grew as almost a sister to the owners, and we could feel the love and conection they had together.
The owners mom's cuisine was so delicious and she's very lovely woman. We could feel her love in the food and the way she received us ✨. All best for the people at elefantastic, when I come back to India, i'll definitely be coming again with them.
Please, be sure to call and reserve directly via WhatsApp with them because the hotel driver we had wanted to take us to other place where elephants aren't loved or treated well. Book it in advance because it may be crowded for high season in India.

A truly unforgettable experience. We spent the day seeing many historical sights in Jaipur. Our guide ,Akaram was very knowledgeable and accommodated our needs. He was well aware of the best spot for photos at all the locations. The day ended with the most incredible elephant experience. We were met by Vicky who helped us get comfortable around our elephant. Shaku was the Elephant assigned to us. We were told her name means peaceful and she lived up to her name. We felt very comfortable getting up close. As an animal lover, it was very important to me that the animals be fairly treated. It is clear that the elephants are well cared for here and live the best lives. We were able to paint Shaku, feed her, give her a bath and go for a walk with her. I highly recommend the experience to anyone planning on visiting Jaipur

Definitely one of the best experiences I had on my trip to India! Elefantastic is a great place to learn about and care for Elephants. You are first treated to an amazing home cooked meal for lunch then taken to the sanctuary where you get acquainted to one assigned to you. After feeding you take your elephant for a walk in the sun and then give it water and a bath. They are doing a wonderful thing for these creatures and is a most memorable time you will cherish.

One of the finest temples in the country. So charismatic!! The vibe of it is something else.

I must say that the experience was truly mesmerizing. The temple's intricate architecture and stunning marble carvings are a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of the artisans who built it.
But what truly made the experience special for me was the dharmic Hindu aspect of the temple. As someone who has grown up with Hinduism as a core part of my identity, visiting Birla Mandir was a deeply spiritual experience. From the chanting of mantras to the devotional songs being played in the temple, every aspect of the visit was steeped in a sense of reverence for the divine.
The temple's location on a hilltop overlooking the city only added to the feeling of being transported to another realm. The panoramic views of Jaipur from the temple were breathtaking and added to the overall sense of serenity and peace.

Its really a good temple and also with good looking.. It is a nice and beautiful place to visit.
It's Hindu temple situated in the middle of Jaipur city.
Near the Railway station and bus stop.
...Almost all tourists start their day from this temple by taking blessings from the god.
It's open at 9:00am and then you can start tours to another place.
It is very beautiful like other birla temples at 9:00 am you can include in the worship of the Lord.
.....I was very happy when I saw the foreigner also pray till the prayer ends and I hope they all feel blessed and filled with positive energy.
All the foreigners were in deep meditation which I especially liked.

Birla Mandir, nestled in the vibrant city of Jaipur, is a testament to the seamless integration of architectural magnificence, spiritual reverence, and tranquil surroundings. The temple's allure lies not only in its dedication to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi but also in the harmonious blend of pure white marble with the expansive sky, creating a mesmerizing visual symphony.
The exterior of Birla Mandir is a canvas of intricate carvings and architectural finesse. The white marble structure, radiant against the azure backdrop, stands as an exquisite masterpiece. As the sun's rays caress the marble, the temple seems to absorb the essence of the heavens, casting a luminous glow that radiates both spiritual and aesthetic beauty.
Step through the temple's entrance, and a serene ambiance envelops you. The interior is adorned with finely crafted idols, each telling a tale of devotion and artistry. The tranquility within the temple walls provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life, inviting visitors into a realm of peace and introspection.
Situated atop a hill, Birla Mandir offers not just a spiritual haven but also a vantage point that treats visitors to breathtaking views of the Pink City. The sprawling landscape of Jaipur unfolds beneath, creating a picturesque panorama that adds to the overall experience.
Whether you are a devotee seeking spiritual solace or an art enthusiast marveling at the intricate carvings, Birla Mandir caters to a diverse range of sensibilities. It serves as a cultural gem where the divine meets the artistic, leaving an indelible mark on those who traverse its hallowed halls.
In essence, a visit to Birla Mandir is not merely a religious sojourn but a holistic experience, where architectural brilliance, spiritual devotion, and the serenity of the surroundings converge to create a tapestry of timeless beauty. This sacred space, perched atop a hill and adorned with celestial grace, beckons visitors to immerse themselves in a realm where divinity and artistic expression intertwine in perfect harmony.

In a city that seems to be dipped from top to bottom in pink, the stark white marble Birla Mandir stands out—big time. The Hindu temple pays tribute to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and purity, and Vishnu, one of the religion's main deities.
The marvelous structure exudes a quiet, peaceful vibe, offering just the right atmosphere to appreciate fine marble carvings, shrines to gods, and gorgeous sunset views. While you don't need more than 30 minutes to get a sense of the space, the experience will prove to be a restorative break from a day of sightseeing.

The Birla Temple in Jaipur is an architectural marvel and an epitome of serenity. Visiting this magnificent temple was an experience that left me awe-inspired and spiritually rejuvenated. From the moment I stepped foot inside its premises, I was greeted by an ambiance of tranquility and devotion.
The temple's exterior is a sight to behold, with its stunning white marble facade that gleams in the sunlight. The intricate carvings and craftsmanship on the walls and pillars are nothing short of extraordinary, reflecting the rich heritage and cultural significance of Jaipur. As I walked around, every corner revealed a new artistic masterpiece, leaving me in complete admiration of the skilled artisans who created this splendid temple.
Inside, the sanctum sanctorum exudes an aura of divinity and inner peace. The idols of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi are exquisitely adorned and radiate a captivating aura. The soothing chants and devotional hymns playing in the background further enhanced the spiritual experience, instilling a sense of calmness and reverence.
One of the aspects that sets Birla Temple apart is its emphasis on promoting unity and harmony. The temple not only showcases Hindu deities but also pays homage to other religious figures, such as Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ. This inclusivity is a testament to the temple's vision of fostering mutual respect and understanding among different faiths, making it a symbol of religious tolerance and unity.
The sprawling garden surrounding the temple adds to the charm of the place. Lush green lawns, beautifully manicured flower beds, and fountains create a peaceful ambiance, providing a perfect spot for meditation and contemplation. The temple complex also houses a museum that exhibits various religious artifacts and displays the philanthropic work carried out by the Birla family.
The temple's location offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, especially during sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while being enveloped in the divine aura of the temple was an experience that will forever remain etched in my memory.
The Birla Temple in Jaipur is not just a place of worship but a testament to the splendor of architecture, the power of spirituality, and the unity of diverse beliefs. Whether you seek solace, admire artistry, or wish to immerse yourself in a truly spiritual atmosphere, this temple is an absolute must-visit. It is an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city, leaving visitors with a profound sense of peace and fulfillment.
I wholeheartedly recommend visiting the Birla Temple Jaipur for a truly enriching and enlightening experience.

One of the finest temples in the country. So charismatic!! The vibe of it is something else. But I would request everyone not to take photographs inside the temple as it's not allowed but I have seen many doing it. So if rules are followed then it would be really good for all of us. The pictures I have posted is taken outside.

It is a nice and beautiful place to visit.
It's Hindu temple situated in the middle of Jaipur city.
Near the Railway station and bus stop.
Almost all tourists start their day from this temple by taking blessings from the god.
It's open at 9:00am and then you can start tours to another place.
It is very beautiful like other birla temples at 9:00 am you can include in the worship of the Lord.
I was very happy when I saw the foreigner also pray till the prayer ends and I hope they all feel blessed and filled with positive energy.
All the foreigners were in deep meditation which I especially liked.
I hope they will visit this place again for sure.

During our college trip from Mumbai to Rajasthan, we made a stop at the magnificent Birla Temple in Jaipur on December 25th, Christmas evening, around 8:30 pm. Despite the rush to receive blessings and catch a glimpse of the deity before the temple closed, we marveled at its stunning white facade and immense size. Although we only saw it at night, it's advisable to visit during the day to fully appreciate its beauty. The intricate idols within captivated us, and we ascended a few stairs to reach the temple's pinnacle, where we glimpsed a nearby fort. Surrounding the entrance, shops offered a variety of gifts and temple-related items. Overall, it was a delightful visit and a must-see destination for anyone touring Jaipur.
There was parking too near the temple.

Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, Tilak Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302022, India
India's biggest inland salt lake, known for its photogenic landscapes & seasonal migratory birds.
Beautiful Place for tourists those want to expose Rajasthan. Sambhar City is a beautiful place for tourists. When you are traveling from Jaipur to towards Ajmer the small city comes into known Sambhar Lake. It is very small city where lots of heritage place can be seen.
The most popular attraction for the visitors is Sambhar Lake it is also called salt lake. The length of this salt lake is approximate 84 acres it is very difficult to see one end to another end.
In the winters thousands of new world come to there from all of the world. This is most attraction among the tourists.
If you are travelling to Sambhar Lake, it is a good practice to arrange lodging because there is not arrangement to stay. At this place, only a rest house could be found but on the peek it goes full and it is very expensive. Other option is for tourist camping near sambhar lake. The camps are available for tourist but the charges of camps could be high and can be exploit your tour budget.
The is good to hire a self driven car from Jaipur and travel beyond your destination. You can return to your hotel near Phulera but the Hotels in Phulera is not good. It is good to accommodate the accommodation in Jaipur.
The Hotels charges in Jaipur is affordable and could be in your budget.
It is a good time to visit to Sambhar Lake in winters or Spring but it is bad practice to visit in summer.

The lake is a popular tourist destination, especially for birdwatching. During the winter months, the lake attracts millions of migratory birds from all over the world. The most common birds seen at the lake include flamingos, pelicans, storks, ducks, and geese.
The lake is also home to a number of other wildlife, including deer, foxes, and jackals. There are also a number of temples and other historical sites located around the lake.
Overall, Shakambhari Jheel is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit. It is a great place to learn about the importance of salt in the Indian economy and to see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Pros:

It is a beautiful place that is unfortunately taken over by goons. You can take your car here and camp but someone will come in a gypsy and demand 2000/- for just being here. The goons are a coterie of the people running the train and the hotels in the area that target outsiders.
It's sad what this beautiful place has come to be. Be careful of the looting attitude of the people who work at the railway station and the hotels around.

Sambhar salt lake is the largest salt Lake of India which is situated in two districts of Rajasthan one is Ajmer and second one is jaipur. Here salt is prepared by the 'kyaari' Method. Basically they store this water in small segments and then wait to evaporate the water and salts remains there.. They collect this salt.

Indeed a white salt lake. We went in Summers, May, off season. But people suggest best time to visit is either in monsoon or winters to see the migratory birds and lake. But the perk of visiting in Summers was that we were all alone over there so it felt like a private lake of your own, you could enjoy to the fullest as there was not even 1 person in peak Summers. Con of visiting in Summers is that it's very very hot, you will hv to hear up and protect yourself against the heat and take good care of your health. But nevertheless we got good serene pics. Couldn't believe such places still exist in India. Felt like a foreign place. Hidden gem of Rajasthan!

This is a beautiful place for photoshoot, any kind of shoot. There are resorts also but in season times only you can enjoy there there is a train also sambhar express where you can enjoy the ride through sambhar jheel. There is a temple also Shakambhari Devi Temple , around 22 Km from Sambhar city. Sunset and sunrise view is awesome from Sambhar jheel.
From Jaipur Smbhar Lake is around 70Km.

It's a beautiful lake. It is infact the largest inland water lake in India. You can experience it's vast expanse, along with many migratory birds if you visit between October and March. It's spread vastly and you'll be mesmerized by it's strech and wonder.
You can also take a train ride to experience the entire strech of the lake.
Not only that, it is a place to also experience salt farming, meet the people behind it and learn so much. It's really one of a kind and it's just a drive/ one hour bus ride away from Jaipur.

I went to see flamingos at the Sambhar festival that has happened for the second time from 26-28 January 2024. The place was graced by different folk dancers and musicians. There were adventure sports being organised paragliding, paramotor gliding. There were fancy kite flying. Unluckily the no flamingos were sighted. And the sambar jheel is also drying and salt is crystallizing on top of it. It seems like a vast expanse of white. From the top (the paramotor gliding that happened during the festival), I was able to actually see the different shades of pink and green water that is beautiful to see.

It is an Amazing place. It like an open ground till eyes can see. Feels like watching horizon at the end. Amazing View. Love the vibes. Happy place. A place worthy of visiting Once in a Lifetime.

If you love to drive, then don’t go in Monsoon, as then You can drive over the Lake and drift too, as it an big open space out there. And also you can walk on it and the Vibes will on another Level. 😍

A beautiful place situated near dudu and it's 75 to 80 km from Jaipur city, basically it's a salt Lake where the locals make salt and supply in different cities and countries, it's a flat land with no trees or greenery, it's not advisable to visit in the rainy season, only issue to reach this place is that no sign boards are provided and even Google can't tell the exact location to reach this place.

This place is photogenic, if you are a photographer or sunset lover this is really nice place. This is the biggest salt lake of India.
Its ideal place for motorcycle and car adventures. This place is 90kms away from Jaipur. Sambhar lake has a potential to become a unique tourism and adventure destination.
Morning views are so nice. You may get problem with smell but that's the smell of salt production. You can visit Shakambhari temple and jain temple.

This little known Soniji Ki Nasiyan, a Jain temple dedicated to Rishabhadev, is the real Gem of Ajmer city. It is also known as Golden Temple and Red Temple. The main attraction here is a two-storied Swarna Nagari Hall behind the temple. It is a museum housing astonishing replicas of the life story of Rishabhdev. Entire collection here is gold plated. It took 25 years to build and 1000 KGs of gold is used in making. Its interior is adorned with mineral colour paintings, Belgian glass and stained glass work.
There is a replica of Ayodhya city where Rishabhdev was born and Prayag city where he renounced the world. There are also replicas of his life events like his birth, dance of Apsara, his penance, his Kesh Lochan, breaking a yearlong fast at Hastinapur, his preaching at "Samovasaran" etc. The museum is open for all and it is a must visit place in Ajmer.

The Ajmer Jain temple also known as Sonji ki Nasiya, is an architecturally rich Jain temple.
If you're not Jain, you're not allowed to enter the main temple but you can visit the museum associated with the temple.
The entry fee is 10 INR, you will be able to view the dioramas of Jainism life and death.
There are few cons about this place
- staircase is steep
- place is not maintained even when they charge for the place
- walls are dirty
It's a nice place for a one time visit. So, if you're in Ajmer, you can visit this place once.

The Ajmer Jain temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion. This golden chamber of the temple uses 1000 kg of gold to carve out a depiction of Ayodhya. Kurt Titze, in his book, "Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence", writes on Soniji Ki Nasiyan: "Ajmer's main attraction is - for the Jainas - the prominently situated Nasiayan Digambara Temple, or rather the two-storied Svarana Nagara Hall behind the temple, better known as the Museum. Both the temple and the museum were built and are still owned by the Soni family of Ajmer. The temple, dedicated to Rishabha or Adinatha in 1865, was constructed of red sandstone in a matter of a few years, but it took twenty-five years, from 1870 to 1895, to fashion - by artisans at Jaipur - the thousands of individual parts required to assemble a three-dimensional replica of the story of Rishabha in accordance with an old manuscript by Acharya Jinasena.

This was a total surprise for me as I happened to visit Ajmer on my way to Jodhpur. Entry ticket of 10 rupees. You can walk around the depiction and take a very nice view if you arrive around the opening time, which was 10 AM when I visited. Totally worth the visit. Jain glory is shown in gold!

Anasagar Lake, a man-made lake that dates back to the 12th century, covers an area of 13 kilometers and offers hiking trails and boating. It was constructed by Maharaja Anaji and later modified by Mughal rulers to include enhancements such as the Daulat Bagh garden and five pavilions called Baradari. The lake's serene appearance is complemented by its surroundings, making it a top tourist attraction in Ajmer.

The unique feature of a restaurant in the middle of lake adds to the charm, providing a scenic dining experience surrounded by water. Overall, a great spot for a leisurely day with a mix of boating and good food.
There are 2 types of boats 1. Will cover only round of river 2. Will drop you in place (many restaurants and beautiful parks in the middle of the lake) for 1 hour and then back to origin
Choose 2nd if you want to enjoy more

There're some kids play areas, snacks n tra stalls and clean walking pavements. For a nominal entry ticket, its good for locals to enjoy an evening with family. People coming from out to see Dargah can also visit here for an hour. Parking roadside is free.

The Ajmer Sharif dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti is famous the world over for attracting millions of devotees who seek the sufi saint's blessings. Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti occupies a prominent place among the spiritual healers of the world.

Khwaja Gharib Nawaz Dargah is the place where u can achieve inner peace. It is crowded throughout the year as people from all over the world come to visit the holy place. Once I entered there, I was not willing to go back. One can spend hours sitting inside and can feel the positive vibe. It is very well maintained, neat and tidy place. But you have to take care of your belongings in such a huge crowd.

Visiting this dargah is a part of spiritual upliftment that brings you peace and tranquility. However,I am completely disappointed with the so called khadims of this dargah who only care about money and that's it. They will give you only the slightest of recognition only if you give money, buy chaadar or flowers. Right from the start of the entrance till the mazaar is all about money. Before you enter, you have to pay for footwear, as soon you enter, people will heckle you to buy chaadar and what not, when you visit the shrine, the khaadims will command ( not request, not before, nothing)you to offer money as though without money your prayers will remain unanswered. Deeply disappointed with the state of affairs and administration of the dargah

One of the most visited places of Ajmer; the Ajmer Dargah is a Sufi shrine which is believed to be one of the holiest places in Rajasthan. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, who was a Persian Sufi saint, is enshrined in this place owing to his secular preaching’s. He is believed to be the descendant of Muhammad, and it is on his request that he came to India. It is believed that if you pray for anything with a pure heart at the Ajmer Dargah, it is bound to be fulfilled.
This prestigious shrine built by the Mughal Emperor Humayun features a series of huge doors boasting beautiful carvings while you enter the dargah. All these doors are made of pure silver, and the intricate carvings are a treat to watch. Once you reach the courtyard, you can get a glimpse of the tomb of the pious saint, Moinuddin Chishti which is carved out of marble. On the top of the dargah, there is gold plating, guarded by a railing that is made out of pure silver and marble. There is a sense of peace and serenity inside the premises of dargah that you would not find anywhere else!
During winters, gates are open from 5 AM to 9 PM
During summers, gates are open from 4 AM to 10 PM.

You will find people from all religions there visiting the shrine praying for their good health and prosperity. This place is always crowded. Make sure you visit this off- season. You will feel a different level of energy here.
As it's a Dargah make sure your attire is appropriate (cover yourself properly).
Good amount shops near Dargah.
We shopped bunch of dupattas on the back from Dargah
Be alert : take care of your wallet, purse and phones, do not visit when it's too crowded.

"Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz Dargah: A sacred site at Ajmer Sharif, exuding spirituality, peace, and divine energy. Highly recommended pilgrimage."
MAKSUD KHAN — Google review
My visit to Ajmer Sharif was a spiritually enriching experience. The aura of the shrine is undoubtedly divine, welcoming people of all religions. However, finding parking can be a challenge due to narrow lanes, and the market area can get quite crowded. The availability of private parking for a reasonable fee of Rs 100 was convenient. It's worth noting that while most priests seek donations, there's no obligation. The walk to the shrine adds to the pilgrimage feel. But considering the crowd be watchful of your belongings, kids etc.
One need to cover the head and place slippers randomly at some place (no proper arrangement). Please go with a free mind and don't get bogged down by priests asking for donations.

Wow, such a beautiful place to visit. You can offer flowers to both the dargahs inside. There are price ranges from 50rupees to 500. People inside that dargah ask you for money and don't give much but 50 bucks is enough. Carry enough transitions it will be fine. I ate famously Maal Puri from Khasim Ali shop it's right there near the entrance. It was good. Half kg is 130 rupees

Khwaja Garib Nawaz
At the time of the birth of Moinuddin Chishti, Sistan, East Persia, was facing plunders and bloodsheds. These intruders took advantage of Sultan Sanjar's weak administration. The people's lives and honour were always in threat. The Muslim nation's followers had been completely crushed by the ferocious Tartars. They outraged mankind in nearly every center of Muslim civilization and culture, which dates back 600 years.
Because of such situations father of khwaja Moinuddin, khawaja Ghiyasuddin Hasan, One day decided to pack his belongings and left Sistan for a safer location. He moved to Neshapur, the capital city, with his family. There resided knowledgeable Ulama and respected Sufis who taught intellectuals from all over the world moral and spiritual enlightenment. There were physicians and painters with exceptional qualifications living there. There were lush gardens and canals, as well as fertile agricultural areas. Khawaja Ghiyasuddin Hasan is said to have purchased an orchard with a windmill in this area in order to settle down for a tranquil life
heritage, the sack of Neshapur, coupled with the loss of his beloved parents, caused him to reflect deeply.
Hazrat Khawaja Muinuddin Chishti was a descendant of the famous lineage of Hazrat Ali, the Holy Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law and cousin. His dad Syed Ghiyasuddin Hasan was a highly religious guy and a good man.
According to historians, Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti showed early signs of his unique piety and willingness to sacrifice for others even as a youngster. When a lady with a baby came to meet his mother and the baby begged for food, the future newborn saint would make a sign to his mother to feed the weeping baby from her own breast. The sight of his mother doing this delighted Muinuddin much. He used to share his own meal with his playmates when he was 3 or 4 years old.
Khawaja Muinuddin used to ruminate for hours on end about the heinous scenes of the Khorasan massacre, which he had been witnessing with great pain for several years since his youth. His interest in worldly life and pleasures was rapidly dwindling as a result of these tragic impressions. He was deeply concerned and yearned to be free of such a mad world if he could only see a way out.
The Pushkar Lake is a sacred lake and Hindu pilgrimage site located in the heart of the city of Pushkar. It is surrounded by bathing ghats and temples, and is visited by thousands of devotees during major festivals and fairs. Nightlife around the lake is not very lively, but it looks more vibrant during major festivals.
Recently I visited this lake which is said to be of Brahma Lake and is famous for its yagya done here by Brahma, the creator of everything. The lake is beautiful and u feel the energy of the divine power here. Along this also is a Brahma temple. Best time to visit during Dusheera when there is a Mela organised here. It is the most holy place in Ajmer. Devotees all over the world come here to pay their visit to this temple. It OSD the only temple of Brahma in the world. Adi Shankrachaya is said to have built the temple here.

Pushkar lake is in the Pushkar town of Rajasthan state. This is considered as one of the most sacred lakes for the Hindus. The holy temple of the creator-God Brahma is located here. This town is also famous for Pushkar Fair.
The Ghats are constructed all around the lake. We visited this place when we were driving down from New Delhi to Ahmedabad. We decided to stay overnight at Ajmer on our way back.
Since we reached early at Ajmer, we decided to visit the famous Pushkar temple and lake, which is about one hour from Ajmer. We wanted to take some short cut so we asked the local people, but we drove through the horrible road and it took double the time. (I should have trusted Google Map.)
The lake was not clean and we avoided to take a dip into the holy water. Unfortunately, as expected the pujari was chasing us and pushing for bigger puja. Pujari or Pandit told the mythological story of Brahma and that this is the only temple of Brahma in India, which is not true.
The guide is not necessary but we hired a guide who hooked up us with pandit for puja. It is easy to navigate into the town and narrow market place. Lots of variety shops were on both the sides of the road which sells very nice artifacts at reasonable price.
Overall not a pleasant experience but I could check mark one item from my bucket list.

One and only religious place for Lord Brahma. One of the best and peaceful place in Rajasthan.
The water from lake was not entirely clean so please avoid from taking dip in the lake. Only thing that can down this place is the pandas and pujaris. They force you for puja and demanding a lot of money and after puja they throw all the waste in the lake and pollute the water.

Before going towards Brahma Mandir, there was a way to the left side for the lake.
Around/before Ganesh Ji temple on the way.
Thou this lake water not so clean. People use this place for अस्थि विसर्जन.
So you will see lots of people doing rituals for that.
Though there is a seperate Ghat for Bath than the Ritual one.
Places to keep shoes. On sunny days, the floor is just burning so much on bare feet.

Witnessing the colorful festivities and cultural performances around the lake was a memorable experience that added a sense of joy and excitement to my visit.
Lakeside Serenity:
Apart from its religious significance, Pushkar Lake offers a serene environment that invites visitors to unwind and find solace. Walking along the ghats or sitting by the lakeside, I enjoyed the soothing sounds of water lapping against the steps and the gentle breeze rustling through the nearby trees. It was a peaceful respite from the bustling streets of Pushkar, allowing me to reflect and find inner peace in the lap of nature.
Conclusion:
Visiting Pushkar Lake was a soul-stirring experience that left an indelible impression on my heart. Its spiritual sanctity, architectural gems, mesmerizing views, and serene ambiance make it a must-visit destination for seekers of tranquility and spiritual awakening.

Excellent temple and wonderful experience visiting here today! The street leading to the temple and the temple itself were very clean, much cleaner than our expectation. Not too crowded so we could stand in front of the deity for 5 min.
We left our car in the hotel as we were not sure of parking but there are paid parkings available around a kilometer before the temple.

This is the holy place for Hindus and considered as only temple of creator “Brahma”. The wall of outer section of temple has names of many people who contributed toward the temple. Temple atmosphere is bit louder as devotees offer their prayers. Photography is strictly prohibited in temple premises. Due to high rush there are good arrangements of security as well.
The outer street of temple are good to walk around as it connects the nearby ghats.
The cleanliness is not up to mark.

The Brahma Temple in Pushkar, Rajasthan, is a truly enchanting spiritual destination. As one of the very few temples dedicated to Lord Brahma, it holds immense significance for Hindu devotees. The temple's striking architecture and serene atmosphere create a soul-stirring experience for visitors. The peaceful lake nearby adds to the charm. However, the temple's popularity can lead to significant crowds, which may hinder a sense of tranquility. Additionally, more information about the temple's historical and cultural significance would enrich the visit. Nevertheless, the Brahma Temple remains an unmissable place to connect with divine spirituality in the heart of Rajasthan.

Only temple of Lord Brahma on this land so this is a special place with no doubt. Beautiful and serene with the pushkar lake beside. Very divine and positive place. However, believe me the temple administration or the concerned authorities should note that the cleanliness, proper queue system and a thorough following of set regulations happen at this divine place. Devotees travel from far and wide to reach here only to find themselves being pushed and pulled in the crowd after opening of doors for darshan. There were people clicking pictures, carrying heavy luggage etc inside the temple. The policeman stationed there objected o about bags only to those who were dressed differently from the local people!! The announcement done by some temple person was mostly Abudive towards a few devotees that too in the Mike!! The serene atmosphere was disturbed by unrelenting croud who didn't want to wait for their turn.
It's sad that such divine places are not bring looked into to improve tourist experiences!!

ब्रह्मा मंदिर राजस्थान के पुष्कर में स्थित भगवान ब्रह्मा को समर्पित सबसे प्रसिद्ध हिंदू मंदिर है, जिन्हें ब्रह्मांड का निर्माता माना जाता है। भारत में ब्रह्मा को समर्पित एकमात्र मंदिर है यह दुनिया के टॉप 10 धार्मिक स्थानों और भारत में हिन्दुओं के टॉप 5 पवित्र स्थलों में से एक है। शुरुआत में इस मंदिर का निर्माण ऋषि विश्वामित्र के द्वारा शरू किया गया था जिसकें बाद आदि शंकराचार्य के अधीन इस मंदिर का कई बार जीर्णोद्धार किया गया।
यहा पुष्कर मेला और पुष्कर में ही ब्रह्मा जी एक इकलौता मंदिर है जो इस जगह को और भी विख्यात बनाता है।पुष्कर राजस्थान के अजमेर जिले का एक शहर है। यह हिंदुओं के लिए एक बहुत ही पवित्र स्थल है और हर साल सैकड़ों लोग इस स्थान पर तीर्थ यात्रा करते हैं। कहा जाता है कि पुष्कर में 500 से अधिक मंदिर हैं, जिनमें से अधिकांश 18वीं शताब्दी के हैं क्योंकि पुराने मंदिरों को मुगल सम्राट औरंगजेब ने नष्ट कर दिया था। अतः मंदिरों का पुनर्निर्माण किया गया और उनमें से सबसे बड़ा और सबसे प्रमुख ब्रह्मा मंदिर है। मंदिर की संरचना 14वीं शताब्दी की है लेकिन लोकप्रिय मान्यताओं और किंवदंतियों के अनुसार, मंदिर वास्तव में 2000 वर्ष से भी अधिक पुराना है
इतिहास-
पुराणों के अनुसार, एक बार भगवान ब्रह्मा की नजर वज्रनाभ नामक राक्षस पर पड़ी, जो लोगों को मार रहा था और प्रताड़ित कर रहा था। तब ब्रह्मा ने अपने विशेष हथियार कमल से राक्षस को मार डाला। लड़ाई के दौरान, कुछ कमल की पंखुड़ियाँ गिर गईं और जब ब्रह्मा पृथ्वी पर आए तो उन्होंने उस स्थान का नाम पुष्कर रखा।
अतः ब्रह्मा ने ज्येष्ठ पुष्कर में यज्ञ या अग्नि यज्ञ करने का निर्णय लिया। हालाँकि, उनकी पत्नी सावित्री उनके साथ इस यज्ञ में शामिल नहीं हो पाईं। चिढ़कर उसने भगवान इंद्र से एक पत्नी प्रदान करने के लिए कहा ताकि वह यज्ञ कर सके। तब इंद्र ने एक गूजर की बेटी गायत्री को अपने सामने लाया, जिससे अतः ब्रह्मा ने विवाह किया। अतः सावित्री यज्ञ में पहुंची जहां गायत्री को देखकर वह क्रोधित हो गई और उसने ब्रह्मा को श्राप दिया कि कोई भी कभी भी उसकी पूजा नहीं करेगा। बाद में उन्होंने कुछ स्थानों पर उनकी पूजा की अनुमति देकर श्राप को कम किया, जिनमें से सबसे प्रमुख स्थान था पुष्कर|
ब्रह्मा मंदिर पुष्कर की वास्तुकला -
ब्रह्मा मंदिर को मूल रूप से 14 वीं शताब्दी में पुष्कर नदी के तट पर बनाया गया था। आप संगमरमर की सीढ़ियों की मदद से मंदिर तक पहुँच सकते हैं। मुख्य द्वार के शीर्ष पर भगवान ब्रह्मा के वाहन हंस की मूर्ति देखने को मिलती है। मेन गेट आपको मुख्य हॉल तक ले जाएगा, जिसे मंडापा भी कहा जाता है। फिर इसके बाद एक गर्भगृह है जहां पर ब्रह्मा जी निवास करते हैं। मंदिर में संगमरमर से बना एक सुंदर कछुए को गर्भगृह की ओर देखा जा सकता है। काले और सफेद टाइलों में फर्श का संगमरमर भक्तों द्वारा भगवान ब्रह्मा को चढ़ाए गए सैकड़ों चांदी के सिक्कों से भरा है। यहां की दीवारें मोर और देवी सरस्वती की आकर्षक छवियों से सजी हुई हैं। इस मंदिर के अंदर एक चांदी का दरवाजा भी है जो एक छोटी गुफा तक जाता है जिसमें भगवान शिव का मंदिर है। ब्रह्मा जी की यह मूर्ति चार पैर और चार हाथ के साथ स्थित है और उनके चारों चेहरे चार अलग- अलग दिशा में देख रहें हैं। भगवान ब्रह्मा मूर्ति के साथ उनकी पत्नियों में सावित्री अपने दाईं ओर और गायत्री बाईं ओर बैठी हुई हैं।
ब्रह्माजी मंदिर पुष्कर में उत्सव –
ब्रह्मा मंदिर में मनाये जाने वाले उत्सव की बात करें तो ऐसा कोई भी त्यौहार नहीं है जो मंदिर में मनाया जाता है लेकिन कार्तिक पूर्णिमा को सबसे शुभ दिन माना जाता है। कार्तिक पूर्णिमा पर कार्तिक के हिंदू चंद्र महीने की पूर्णिमा की रात (अक्टूबर – नवंबर)पुष्कर में भारत के सबसे धार्मिक उत्सवों में से एक पुष्कर मेले का आयोजन किया जाता है। इस मेले में पर्यटकों और भक्तों की भारी भीड़ होती है। पांच दिवसीय लंबे इस उत्सव के दौरान भक्त पवित्र पुष्कर झील में डुबकी लगाते हैं और ब्रह्मा मंदिर में कई विशेष अनुष्ठान किए जाते हैं।
प्रवेश शुल्क –ब्रह्मा मंदिर में जाने के लिए कोई भी प्रवेश शुल्क नहीं लिया जाता।
ब्रह्मा मंदिर पुष्कर के खुलने और बंद होने का समय –
सर्दियों के दौरान मंदिर खुलने का समय- सुबह 6:30 से रात 8:30 बजे
गर्मियों के दौरान मंदिर खुलने का समय- सुबह 6:00 से रात 9:00 बजे तक
दोपहर 1:30 से 3:00 बजे के बीच मंदिर बंद कर दिया जाता है।
कहा जाता है कि ब्रह्मा जी के मंदिर का निर्माण ग्वालियर के महाजन गोकुल प्राक् ने करवाया था तथा आदि शंकराचार्य ने संवत 713 में मौजूदा ब्रह्मा जी की चुर्तमुखी प्रतिमा की स्थापना की थी।

The structure of the temple dates back to the 14th century but according to popular beliefs and legends, the temple is actually more than 2000 years old
History-
According to the Puranas, once Lord Brahma noticed a demon named Vajranabha, who was killing and torturing people. Then Brahma killed the demon with his special weapon lotus. During the fight, some lotus petals fell and when Brahma came to earth he named the place Pushkar.
Hence Brahma decided to perform a yagya or fire sacrifice at Jyeshtha Pushkar. However, his wife Savitri could not join him in this yagya. Irritated, he asked Lord Indra to provide him a wife so that he could perform the yagya. Then Indra brought before him Gayatri, the daughter of a Gujar, whom Brahma married. So Savitri reached the Yagya where seeing Gayatri she became angry and cursed Brahma that no one would ever worship her. Later he mitigated the curse by allowing his worship at some places, the most prominent of which was Pushkar.
Architecture of Brahma Temple Pushkar -
The Brahma Temple was originally built in the 14th century on the banks of the Pushkar River. You can reach the temple with the help of marble stairs. At the top of the main gate, a statue of a swan, the vehicle of Lord Brahma, can be seen. The main gate will take you to the main hall, also known as the mandapa. Then after this there is a sanctum sanctorum where Lord Brahma resides. In the temple a beautiful tortoise made of marble can be seen towards the sanctum. The marble floor in black and white tiles is filled with hundreds of silver coins offered to Lord Brahma by devotees. The walls here are decorated with attractive images of peacocks and Goddess Saraswati. There is also a silver door inside this temple which leads to a small cave which houses the temple of Lord Shiva. This idol of Lord Brahma is situated with four legs and four hands and his four faces are looking in four different directions. Lord Brahma idol is seated with his wives Savitri on his right and Gayatri on his left.

The only Brahma temple in the universe as per sources, not verified though. Nice lake nearby to take photos. Try out malpua there if you love sweet foods.

Experience is good over there. But there are many THUGS in form of local guides, please take care from them. Ghat is not so clean just cause of people not feel responsible there for cleanliness and just throwing there garbage here and there or in lake.
All over experience is good.

Holy religious calm peaceful place!
The Jagatpita Brahma Mandir or the Brahma Temple located in Pushkar, Rajasthan and is the most famous Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Brahma who is considered the creator of the universe. Being the only temple dedicated to Brahma in India, it attracts lakhs of pilgrims every year. Pushkar itself is famous for its religious importance and for the International Holi festival organised every year!
Pro tip: Go early morning to have peaceful darshan and then head on for breakfast to the most famous Rabri lassi, Malpua and Kachori samosa (with kadi) near GauGhat. Have your healthy lunch at the Shalom's cafe with some falafel.

Supposed to be a very important pilgrimage centre for the Hindus. But the spirituality is spoilt by the local guides who persuade and emotionally blackmail you to make donations. The place has a rich history and is worth the visit. But just close your ears and walk straight to the lake and then to the temple. You definitely don't need a guide. They will say it is free of cost and then slowly start nagging you to perform some rituals and make donations.

Visited the Brahma Temple in Pushkar, the only one in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. The temple exuded a unique vibe, and the ambiance was serene. Unfortunately, authorities didn't permit photography or videos, hindering my plan to share the darshan with my mom via a video call. Regular announcements reinforced this policy.
On the positive side, the temple was well-maintained, and the atmosphere was peaceful with minimal queues. The surrounding market resonated with a holy aura. Overall, a spiritually enriching experience. Giving it a thumbs up!

Rajasthan’s well-known religious city, Pushkar is the most amazing and prominent and is the home of the rare Brahma Temple in the world. It is one of the very few religious temples devoted to Lord Brahma all across the globe. Named the Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, this temple addresses the entire city and is the reason behind the rapid boost of Pushkar Tourism in Rajasthan. Construction of this temple dates back to the 14th century while Indian Mythology believes the origin of this temple took place 2000 years back. Settled close to the sacred Pushkar Lake, the temple is a highly prominent landmark of the city with a large no. of tourists flocking here, especially during the occasion of Kartik Purnima.
Brahma Temple Pushkar as written in the sacred scriptures of the Hindu religion, Padma Purana, Lord Brahma once came across a demon named Vajranabha, killing and torturing people. Viewing such atrocities, the Lord slew the demon with a lotus flower (his special weapon). By doing so, some petals of the flower fell at three places on the ground. All those three spots have today turned into the three sacred lakes, which are today known as the Jyestha Pushkar, the Madhya Pushkar, and Kanishka Pushkar.
Later when the Lord made his visit to earth, he started with the preparations of a Yajna (fire Sacrifice) at the Jyestha Pushkar Lake, to perform the Yajna undisturbed by the demons, Lord Brahma created a chain of hills surrounding it. However, his wife Savitri was not available for Yajna and was disruptive of the proceedings.
On this, Lord Brahma requested Lord Indra to send him a suitable consort to complete the Yajna. When Gujar’s daughter, named Gayatri was finally sent to take the seat next to Brahma as his wife, Savitri arrived. Feeling disturbed, she cursed Brahma that the lord would never be worshipped by anyone. Later on, she permitted his worship only in Pushkar. This entitled that there’s only Brahma Temple that is worshipped
Entry timings in the temple:
Summers: 5:30 am to 9 pm (*closed in the afternoon from 1 to 3 pm)
Winters: 5:30 am to 9 pm (*closed in the afternoon from 1 to 3 pm)

The only temple of lord brahma built long back 2000 years ago👌👌 the entire city of pushkar has more than 400 plus temples but this is the most famous temple in the world. It is believed that it was built when lord brahma came at this point to perform a yajna , it was then this temple was built.
It is surrounded with holy water of pushkar lake which is considered very sacred. It is believed to worship the water and the. Visit the temple.
There are many local stories about the temple.
One of my favourite is that the city is named Pushkar because a Pushp (flower) felt from the hand of lord brahma and this holy water and city was formed.
All forms of gods have temples in each city nd town but lord brahma's temple is only found in pushkar.
Aditi Bhati — Google review
The temple was dedicated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe. According to the Padma Purana, Lord Brahma was in search of a suitable place to perform a Yagna when the lotus was fell from his hand on the Earth. Miraculously a lake sprang up at the place where the Lotus touched the earth and Brahma considering it a good omen decided to perform his Yagna and named the town Pushkar. But when his wife Saraswati failed to join him, he married a local maiden Gayatri and completed the Yagna. On getting to know about this, an enraged Saraswati cursed Brahma that from this day forth he would be worshiped only in the land of Pushkar and nowhere else on Earth.
Alongside the statue of Lord Brahma, you'll find sculptures of Lord Indra and Lord Kuber at the temple entrance. Their presence adds to the spiritual vibe, giving devotees more divine energy to connect with when they visit. It's like a bonus blessing as you enter the temple.

The Hindu temple of Savitri Mata Temple is an excellent place to visit if you're looking for a tranquil place to pray or just enjoy stunning views. The temple is located on the Ratnagiri slope behind the Brahma sanctuary, and offers beautiful lake and valley views via cablecar or trekking ascents. It's also a popular pilgrimage site for people who are seeking relief from troubles, and is often visited by pilgrims who are seeking guidance from Savitri Mata herself.
Wonderful place, wonderful place, incomparable peacefully, the view is also unique, feel like seeing again and again, there is a ropeway here also gives a different experience with safety, different experience of air at height

Beautiful temple on such height, there are steps to reach the temple or one can go via ropeway ( Rs 150 per person). Breathtaking view from the top of the mountain where the temple is situated. I would like it to be a little more cleaner. Visitors should beware of monkeys in the temple premises.

It was a fun cable car ride experience. We were waiting in line for about 30 minutes. There is a beautiful view at the top. Lots of langur monkeys. But there was a lot of garbage. We walked down and it was an unpleasant experience because there were heaps of garbage everywhere on the hill. It’s sad, especially this knows as a sacred place for Hindus.

It's a half an hour trail by walk. Do experience the calm nature, sight of surrounding and listen to your mind.

You can walk from Brahma Mandir to a place where you can get an Auto/Camel ride to the Start point of Ropeway
The auto/camel ride point is about 1-2Km from Brahma Mandir. It's better to see one of these because it's a bit too much for walking on sunny days. Auto costs ₹20 per person.
The Ropeway cost ₹165 per person.
Best time to go is right after 2PM or close to 2PM as Mandir re-opens at 2PM. We didn't get any queue but when we came back around 3PM there was a long queue for Rope Way only.
The rope way system is good, not that costly either. It. It is a good option if you have time and energy to take the stairs.
There are 3 Cabins at once, and it stops mid way for people to get onboard and get off on each end.
For a better view, try to get on the end side of the Cabins/Cart.
There are quite some Baboons around the temple be careful not to annoy them. They are harmless.

This temple of Mata Savitri is situated at the hill top around two km from Brahmaji temple. One can go to this temple by climbing stairs which are around 900 in number or one can go up by Ropeway. From top of the hill, one can see Pushkar and around areas and enjoy the place.

The Ropeway facility is great. The temple is fine. But there is no proper place for sitting to enjoy the great weather on heights. I would have also appreciate a tea shop or a small restaurant on top with nice views that would have been a cherry on the top.

If you like to try ropeway then this place is great.. There is quite waiting time to visit Savitri Mata temple by ropeway. If you like to climb by stairs then it's ok... Temple is nice and spend some time to enjoy the spiritual feelings and peaceful environment with high altitude...
PRAVEEN Singh — Google review
The temple is very beautiful and spiritual.
It's situated on the top of the hill.
There are two ways you can reach.
The first one is the stairs and the second one is Ropeway.
So now let me tell you how people choose to go there...if they choose stairs so either they had asked the mata savitri to grant their wish and then they go by stairs or some of the tourists go for "Bundi" the holy one I was a foreigner couple they were doing it and they told someone about it I just over heard it and got to know about Bundi also. It almost takes you 2 hours to reach the temple.
And If you are choosing Ropeway so it only costs 150 INR for one person for both sides it's a great option if You just want to visit the temple and add something new in your travelling experience and memories.
It can become adventurous and spiritual at the very same time.
When you'll reach the temple you'll see a bulk of monkeys they just stay there and sit and chill. Don't be aftraif when you see them but yeah make sure you take care of your belongings I can't say if they'll snatch one of your things and will run away!! Haha just kidding. They were really nice until you'll tease them.
So visit the temple it's really beautiful and gives a breath taking view.
It's almost 450kms up from the floor or ground whatever is convenient for one's understanding.
But it's just an amazing temple.
You can sit there make videos and take photos and have really great time with your family, friends, beloved and solo time also.
There is a mini market also where you can have snacks and tea.
A free parking lot also available.
It's a must visit place if you are visiting Pushkar.

Temple is located atop a hill. Views of the Pushkar lake and surrounding areas from the temple are superb.
There are two modes to reach the top of hill. First and preferred one is by Rope Way that costs Rs 165 both ways.
Ropeway trolley will take you to the temple in about ten minutes but waiting time for purchase of tickets and trolley is from 30 to 40 minutes. If you are in good health, you may prefer to climb around 1000 steps to the top and enjoy some great views on the way. It will take around 30 minutes to reach the top by walking - less than the time taken by Rope way including waiting time.
Temple closes from 1 pm to 2 pm. So when it reopens at 2 pm, there is a huge rush. Avoid 2 pm to 3 pm slot.
Dinesh Sud — Google review
A very beautiful temple on the hill. One can see the whole pushkar from the temple courtyard.
It is about 1 km from Brahma temple and can be reached through 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers.
It can be reached either by rope way or stairs.
There are lots of monkeys outside the temple, from which you need to be a little cautious.
The ticket price for the rope way is 165 per person.

Kankroli (Rajnagar) town situated on the Udaipur-Bhilwara highway, located near this huge lake, is actually the district headquarters.
Despite it seeming like a small city to me, when I saw the good traffic system, I exclaimed that such a system was not seen even in Udaipur. (What to say about Bhilwara!)
Kankroli is the district headquarters of Rajsamand district. Rajasthan: Would it be possible that Rajsamand would be the only district in India in which a place with the name of the district does not exist?
After traversing long and narrow streets and asking passers-by, we reached #RajSamudra/#RajSamandJheel. 9 Ghevar Devi, who filled the foundation of this dam near Chowki Pal
#Ghevarmata temple is built on the other side, and #Ambamata temple is built on the other side.
One can see a glimpse of the great personality of Maharana Raj Singh in this huge lake built at a cost of about Rs 1.5 crore in 1676, exactly 100 years after the famous Battle of Haldighati in 1576. It is 2.82 kilometers (1.75 mi) wide, 6.4 kilometers (4.0 mi) long and 18 meters (59 ft) deep. It was built on the Gomti River, Kelva River and Tali River. It was built by Maharana Raj Singh as an atonement for the human killings he had committed during his life.
The name of Maharana Raj Singh is immortal among the great heroes of Mewar, about whom we will know better in the upcoming posts. Coming here you feel like the sea. It was raining yesterday...everything was drenched...the clouds and the sea meeting exactly...we too are drenched...from outside...from within...it will definitely come from the heart...

Beautiful temple with surrounding rajasmand lake. Atmosphere is very cool here due to presence of Lake. Rajsamand Lake is definitely a place to visit...one of the best lake of Rajasthan.

Shrinathji Temple is a Hindu temple and popular pilgrimage site that pays homage to Lord Krishna. The temple features scheduled rituals and viewing times, with several timings when the gates are open for darshan. It is highly visited, with long queues often present outside of the main entrance. To streamline entry, a VIP entry fee of Rs 350 permits access to the front line.
Main entrance of Shrinathji temple. Lots of peoples come today in huge number. So there is always very long queue for entering in Shrinathji temple. Outside of main gate, Mandir have facility to Keep devotees mobiles and Shoes safe for free. There are lots of shops outside of main gate. Very crowded entrance gate.

One word - Pristine!
Shrinathji Temple is located in Nathdwara area of Rajasthan. This is a very old and respected temple in Nathdwara, lord Shrinath (avatar of Krishna) is worshipped here. There are 5 aartis everyday for the God. It's considered to be good if you are able to make it to all of the aartis in a single day. The crowd is good enough on any single day. First Aarti starts at roughly 6am in the morning.

I love it's and
there is also have VIP TICKETS PRICE IS 350 rs
Yash Panpaliya — Google review
It’s worth all efforts. The only bad thing is, it has transformed in to business tourism instead of pilgrimage. No Phones 📵 allowed and security will continuously push and ask you to leave quickly. But its all worth it, to get small glimpse of lord Shrinathji. Be cautious for Fast Line tags/ early access.

Avoid visiting on weekends and if possible leave your phone in hotel or in car because phone inside the temple is not allowed and you have to even wait in line for keeping your shoes and footwear and if your visiting shrinathji you can also cover tallest murti of shivji nearby.

Excellent place. You can take normal line with no fee. No phone is allowed inside so you can keep it outside for free. Don't go on weekends due to rush and also on Holiday times. If VIP line then it will cost ₹350 per person. You can visit each and every specific room where prasad is made or dresses are made for ShrinathJi. A lot of rooms for specific work is there inside the temple which I think is most organized temple I saw till now. You will visit 3 idols if in VIP. It will be a proper workout as you will have to run a lot inside.

Temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, Shrinathji Mandir.. VIP entry fee of Rs 350, gives you access to front line.. Needs a lot of maintenance though.. Quite a number of people through the lanes to visit the temple.. There are several timings when the gates are open for darshan

The temple is very beautiful.
We have seen a lot of people is asking you for vip tickets which is not good,
A place like this have its own respect but still some people are making money by the name of god.

Raadhe Radhe. The main attraction of Nathdwara. Very crowded and long but well-maintained queues. However, the atmosphere is good and people are helpful. The statue of Krishna looks very beautiful.
Sourabh Kumar — Google review
A must visit when in Udaipur. The temple
is about 2 hour drive so plan well. The temple has 8 darshan timings and this is important to follow to visit the temple. It has a website and allows you to book the darshan. Please do that there are touts all along who will scam you for darshan by quoting higher prices.
The temple management has made lines and queues etc but it is not very friendly or easy to navigate.
As tourists if you have limited time plan very well and book the tickets from the temple website.
The locals seem to understand the timing and darshan formality so they are fine with the line systems.
The temple is closed for 15 mins every hour and allows only 45 mins darshan.
The temple has a lunch break as well from 2-4 (time varies) there is always a queue.
They don’t allow mobiles so you will have to deposit them as well.
And again there will be a queue for that as well.
There is cow shed near by in case you want to visit.
The folks all around will try to fleece you for money so be very careful and the place is full of tourist traps
Nagarajan T V — Google review
The temple needs to be more systematic otherwise it’s fine. The vip line system is too much and affordable. We had the proper darshan till 10 minutes. The market outside the temple is amazing and so reasonable but we couldn’t shop much as we were short of time. The variety of food is great
monika verma — Google review
Krishna‘s little Swaroop idol in Shreeji Temple. It’s a nearby places are statue of belief and Eklingji Mahadev.
In a temple, mobile phones, leather and purse are not allowed
Best time to visit temple before 12 PM and after 3 PM to 5 PM
Very huge market for shopping and for food, so you definitely try the street food of the Shreeji Temple, like Pyaas Kachori Kachori Gulab jam Rabadi, Puri Sabzi.
Your mobile put in the safety locker and also remove shoes outside of the door of temple
Definitely go with your family and friends.

One of ultimate religious temple....on weekend it's overcrowded but management and security had been doing great for devotees so not getting cramped on each other. Personally I didn't like that "VIP line" culture no need to pay for darshan, usually it takes 15-20 min for darshan.

Located on the banks of the Banas River and having a distance of 48 from Udaipur in Rajasthan, Nathdwara the Gate of the Lord is visited most frequently by Hindu pilgrims. This pilgrimage site is very popular for enshrining the image of lord Krishna. On a tour to Udaipur you must come to Shrinathji. Temple is open 6 times in a day so plan properly. Beware about Pandas.

Kumbhalgarh Fort, a 15th-century hilltop fortress located 84 kilometers north of Udaipur, is a UNESCO-listed site and the birthplace of Mewar's legendary king, Maharana Pratap. Surrounded by a massive 36km-long perimeter wall, the fort was built by Rana Kumbha and is considered the second most important citadel in the Mewar region.
Place is magical.
The climb to the palace, especially the terrace was awesome, maybe a little challenging for elderly people. Windy, lovely view of the entire fort and surrounding mountains.
Walk on the massive 12km long grand walls is enjoyable. Bunch of beautiful Hindu and Jain temples within the fort.
The tickets can be booked online or paid in cash at the entry.

Nice place to experience. It has a long wall resembling Great Wall of China. Hence a smaller version of it worth visiting. There are a lot of temples in this fort, so we couldn’t cover some important ones. The view from the top of the fort is breathtaking. This fort involves quite a bit of walking.

Even before you plan to visit The Great Wall of China, visit the underrated Kumbhalgarh fort in Rajasthan. I visited Kumbhalgarh fort in January 23, much better to visit during winters till the summer arrives! It's quite hot and the ascend gets you sweaty. The terrain, vegetation, vistas and the architectural feat par excellence.
Rather than visiting an overrated city palace in Jaipur or Udaipur please make a visit here instead!

A very beautiful place to visit. the history of the place is just explained by the beauty and hugeness of the place. the carvings over the walls of the fort and temples. The fort explains the very good architecture and ventilation made the centuries before with the less rescores and less facilities. It is a great marvel questioning the possibility of making huge structure on the hilltop of the great mountain ranges of Aravalli mountains. One should must visit this place and to know about the place more one can take a guide so they can know the place with the full history of the place.

Although the Fort is under renovation, one can explore the temples in the premises, a walk on the floor along the parapet.
Trek to the topmost point of the Fort and the view from there is breathtaking. There is Bhairav Nathji temple inside the Fort main building. Better start early to enjoy the Trek and avoid the rush. The evening Light and sound show is a must and not to be missed.

This fort is really AMAZING, you could spend easily 2 days if you like to do trekking.
We would have love to walk around the whole wall but it is 36km long and only had 3-4h at this place and did not know if all part of the wall were in good condition.
But apparently you can see some wild life, we mainly saw monkeys, birds and cows

You can buy ticket offline or online here. You need to talk a long walk inside this fort. Difficult for elderly people to walk around. Wear a cap as it gets hot. Beautiful view from the top. Well maintained. Beautiful and old temples inside the fort. Walls are very well constructed and picturesque and great architecture. Should appreciate the works in those days who constructed it with such good work. The walls go around 40 kms approximately. It lights up well at night. There are small shops and well maintained toilets. Good sitting place and good shelter under the trees.

The fort, located in Rajasthan, India, is known for its impressive architecture, extensive walls, and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Exploring the intricate design, history, and panoramic vistas make for a memorable trip. Don't miss the chance to take a walk along the fort walls, which are among the longest in the world. And if you're interested in history, the light and sound show in the evening can provide an engaging overview of the fort's past.

It is definitely a historically rich fort and a must visit for those who want to learn more about Mewar as a princely state.
It has only limited information written at some key spots , so would recommend to hire a guide if you want to actually explore the fort and learn about its historical relevance.
Ideally keep 2-3 hours just to go around the fort and the walls because it’s huge. Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes because it’s a steep climb to the top of the fort.

Longer if you want to go further into the temple ruins etc. Please go and enjoy - and savour our history!

This is the last spot where the second half of the battle of Haldighati was fought between Maharana Pratap and the Mughals. As a result, thousands of soldiers o on both sides were died and their blood flowed to such an extent that it formed a pool. At present it just a park. ASI should focus on this to build more interesting. Also it's not maintained well.

But now government made a garden over here & having two samadhis in this garden area.

This location offers significant value, but its maintenance is not up to par. Despite being a peaceful and serene environment, the flowers and greenery could benefit from better care and attention.
Anyone visiting Haldighati should see this too as its a historial place.

Whole the location is of historic importance, it's used as a public park. No guide to explain anything. Not a well-maintained property.

Good place.. history of this place is really mind-blowing... But no support from government side.. Due to that.. Just like a park only... One person is there who explain about the place... Useful only for who understand the gravity of history.

The “Haldighati” name derived because of soil of this region is like “Haldi” (Turmeric). “Haldighati” war fought between the Soldiers of Akbar.. headed by Raja Man Singh of Amber & Maharana Pratap. War was one of the bloodiest battle ever fought, it was so fierce that even today the land still seems to be carrying the shade of the blood shed here. There was heavy rain on that war evening & all blood got mix up with yellow mud of Haldi Ghati and washed out in this pond; it looked like blood pond as its name suggest “Rakt Talai”
During this battle, Maharana's faithful horse “Chetak” was injured on one of his hind legs when he confronted Maan Singh who was on an elephant.
A historic battle, a brave hero and wonderful vibes make this place an outstanding memorial to bravery anywhere in the world.
Considering the history attached to it Govt has given very less importance to it. Need more efforts from tourism department. There is one guide who narrate the history of battle at this place..
Rakt talai khamnore is located in City of Rajsamand
The Maharana Pratap Museum in Haldighati showcases exhibits and a multimedia show about the historic Battle of Haldighati fought in 1576. The museum features statues of King Pratap and his loyal horse Chetak, as well as an artificial village set up for visitors to experience history coming alive. One can also visit the tomb of Chetak and marvel at the magnificent statue of Maharana Pratap and his horse.
Very nice, informative, deeply analyzed and based on facts. Appropriate for spending an hour inside. Includes small movie, robotic display with audio. Overall good for all age to visit and get closer to history of our brave legends. Tickets are 120 for adults, 60 for kids 3-10years and 250 for foreigners. This is a guided tour (included in ticket price)

One of the best museum of Rajasthan I've ever seen. Here you can know the history of Maharana Pratap. Here they have provided a short film show showing the history and power of Maharana Pratap and fight against Akbar and Mughals. Here as you seen in Pictures the Light and Sound show is also amazing with actions. I really like the overall museum. I must advice you to go here and learn the history of Maharana Pratap and powerful Rajputs.

I highly recommend visiting this place. Ticket is also not costly. Worth every penny.
Despite not being a fan of historical places, my perspective changed after visiting this one. The theater experience showcasing the full life story was awesome and inspiring. Additionally, the storytelling through statues was impressive. The presence of a lake inside the museum added a calming effect, enhancing the overall experience.

Maharana pratap Museum is in Haldighati near Udaipur Rajasthan. It is the land of bravery, sacrifice and great history. Haldighati plays an important role in Indian History. It is one of the best Museums of Rajasthan. There is a light and sound programme showing the history of Maharana Pratap, his fight with Akbar, the Mughal emperor. It is worth visiting because one is not only relaxed but learns about the history of our cultural heritage and valor of maharaja of Mewar, Maharana pratap and his horse 🐎 Chetak, who gave his life to save his master. The scenery and statues displayed make the place lively.

I dedicate this day of my travel to both of them. Learned so many things. I won't go in detail. Rana Pratap's life summary can be seen in pic 1. Usually, visitors here watch two to four sites, namely, Maharana Pratap Museum.
One interesting fact I must share about Pic 11, where Chetak and Rana Pratap are charging on Raja Maan Singh (seating on elephant), you can see Chetak's face is covered with elephant's mask. This mask was put on Chetak purposely to confuse Maan Singh's elephant!!! This is the moment when Chetak's leg got deeply cut by mahout of Raja Maan Sigh which proves to be fatal, late in the same day.
Raja Maan Singh was representing Mughal Emperor Akbar in the battle of Haldighati.
The museum is totally accessed with the help of audio guide which is very much user friendly.
Pic 5 is waiting hall before main museum.

Lovely experience. Great place to visit with family. Ticket for one person is 120 and 60 for kids between 3-10 age group. We got to know so much of facts about Haldighati when we visited this place. Kids never get bored coz a short movie, boat riding and atmosphere of villages, and above that horse and camel riding also are more than enough to keep them engaged for 2-3 hours. Overall I loved the place. Must visit it once.

I had a fantastic experience visiting Haldighati near Nathdwara. The convenience of booking a ride from the Nathdwara auto station that covers 2-3 places, including the Shiva pratima visit, was great. The Haldighati museum itself was an enriching historical journey that offered insights into Indian history.
The tickets to the museum were reasonably priced, making it accessible for all visitors. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to purchase products like natural rose water and gulkand from inside the museum, which added a unique touch to the experience. Overall, Haldighati is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts, and I highly recommend exploring this enriching and informative place.

Maharana Pratap Museum is a private museum located at Haldighati, there is a nominal entry fee. Visited the museum in the morning time. Post entry, a guided tour is provided, first the visitor's are taken in a group to a small theater to show a short film on the history of Mewar and Maharana Pratap.
After that, the visitors are guided to walk through the fixed pathways for an audio tour with certain artifacts at the side of pathways depicting interesting history of Mewar and Maharana Pratap. The tour is interesting, especially for the Kids, but may be improved further. At the exit point, the museum depicts rural life along with shops selling sugarcane juice, local products, canteen etc. The entire tour may take around an hour. Overall, a visit to the Museum along with Haldighati visit may be made.

If you want to feel proud of brave souls of India, this is one of those place. Museum tells the story of Battle of Haldighati which was all about bravery of Maharana Pratap. His horse Chetak showed the dedication to his master and now his name is associated with Maharana Pratap forever. If you’re in Udaipur then this is the must visit place. History lover or not but this place gives you the vibe of bravery and sacrifices for your country.

Amazing history & architecture!
Building in the 1500's
A very peaceful temple, a must visit. Do listen to your audio guide.
To click pics, you have to pay a fee of ₹150/- per person.
They also serve meals in their "bhojnalaya" at a very affordable fee of ₹60/- per person. They serve meals in batches, might have to wait for your turn.
They have accommodation facilities, but it is not from a tourism perspective.
Outside the temple, there are adventure tourism activities and safari services. I was told there is no wildlife around.

Mesmerize yourself in the beauty of this temple and views from here. The temple charges you a donation of Rs. 100 on entry and is maintained well for visitors.
The campus of the temple is big and has dedicated parking for the vehicles, from where you would have to walk about 200 m to the temple ramparts.
Points of Improvement:
1. Better maintenance of toilet, it was barely clean when we visited.
2. Should be made more accessible for people with disabilities. Lots of stairs to climb.

Chaumukha Jain Temple, 1444 A forest of marble pillars, each carved differently from the other.
History of Ranakpur Jain Temple
Ranakpurpur Jain Temple was built to order by a local businessman named Darna Shah. He wanted a beautiful temple built after he had a dream of a celestial vehicle. Many sculptors and artists submitted their designs to Shah but none of them matched the image he had dreamt of. One plan that matched his dream was by an architect named Deepak from Mundara. Deepak was able to make a design because he was impressed by the dedication of Shah to build this temple. Afterwards, Shah sought the land to build the temple from King Rana Kumbha. Not only did he give a big piece of land to build the temple on, but he also asked Deepak to build a town around it. The town built was named Ranakpur, after the king, and the same town is now known as Ranakpur. The construction of the temple began in the 14th century and went on till the 15th century.
There are a total of 5 temples in India that are considered the most sacred for Jain. One of them is Ranakpur Jain Temple. The others in the list are Dilwara Temple in Mount Abu, Rajasthan; Khajuraho Temples in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh; Palitana Temples in Shatrunjya Hills, Gujarat; and Gomateshwara Temple in Shravanabelagola, Karnataka.
When you’re visiting Rajasthan, Ranakpur temple is one of the places recommended to visit. It also goes by the name of Charturmukha Dharana Vihara and is dedicated to Tirthankara Rishabhanatha who was the first Tirthankara of Jainism, and he also founded the Ikshvaku dynasty.
The complex of Ranakpur ka Jain mandir includes 5 temples.
Chaturmukha/Chaumukha Temple
Built in the 15th century using white marble, it is the most popular temple in the complex and it honours Adinath, also known as Rishabanatha. It gets its name from its 4-faced design. This temple is spread across 48,000 square feet and is known for its intricacy and beautifully carved 1444 pillars, 426 columns, 89 domes, and 29 halls. Interestingly, one of the pillars is incomplete. There’s a legend about the temple that one pillar is bound to be incomplete. Whenever it has been completed, it has broken the next day itself. 1444 pillars that support the temple have been carved with exquisite detail that is nearly impossible to do even today.
One of the most attractive features of the temple, besides the pillars, is the beautifully carved idol of Parshvanatha. It has been made out of a single slab of marble. Its beauty in the detail is due to the 1008 snake carefully crafted around the idol. The same idol also has two chauri bears and yaksha and yakshi, who are half-human and half-snake. There are also two elephants carved, one on either side, that seem to be purifying Parshavanath. And you can’t find the end of the tails of these elephants.
The Ranakpur Jain Mandir also has 84 bhonyras. Bhonyras are underground chambers that were built in the earlier times during disturbance to prevent the attacks on Jain idols. It is said that the design of Ranakpur Jain Temple was used as an inspiration to design Dilwara Temple. While Dilwara Jain Temple is not for its sculptures, Ranakpur Jain Temple is known for its intricacies in the design.
Suparshvanatha Temple
Supershvanatha is the seventh Tirthankara and this temple is dedicated. The intricate designs are present even in this temple. It is also popular for the erotic arts on the wall.
Surya Temple
The construction of this sun temple dates back to the 13th century, full 2 centuries before the construction of Ranakpur Jain Temple. But it got desecrated during the time of disturbance due to repeated attacks and was later reconstructed with the remaining temple complex.
So when you are looking for places to visit in Rajasthan, Ranakpur Jain Temple must be on your list

Of all the temples, monuments, palaces, etc. that I've seen in India, Ranakpur Jain Temple is the most impressive building I've ever visited. Completely mesmerizing in its ascetic beauty and engineering. Arguably more beautiful than the great Taj Mahal. It can't be described, not even videos and photos will ever do it justice, it MUST be experienced in person.
Its remote location gives it a distinct peacefulness and serenity that you won't find in other places within India. A MUST SEE bucket list item for sure! 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Complete peace amidst greenery, hills and forests. I am sure this place will remain cool and calm even during the scorching heat. There are resorts nearby and you can plan a day trip and experience the Ranakpur Wild Area Safari. It is a must visit place. A unique temple that stands only with pillars, no walls. A total of 1444 marble pillars, each pillar has a different design. Very rich in architecture and carvings. It is highly recommended to visit before evening as there are no bulbs inside, only lamps are used for lighting. Therefore, you may miss seeing the carving in detail. However, seeing the temple lit only by lamps is a different experience altogether.

The place is serene and peaceful..The architecture is spectacular..if you want to take a mobile you have to get tickets prior from the counter outside.Otherwise locker facility is available for just 10 rupees.
The architecture itself is so beautiful and the prayers and charms add beauty to the place.
You can peacefully pray here and see the place.
The stroll through the garden is also good as there are few temples apart from the main temple .
The outside view of the temple is also really nice.
Toursists are advised to maintain the decorum and instructions given by the staff as it's a religious place..Though it's a little bit away from the city.Its a must to visit place.

Great place for worship. Marvelous craftsmanship on the white marble. A must visit for all the Indians having interest in our culture and heritage. This place has a rich history and it is located in the valley of Aravali mountain on the bank of a rainy river with very little water during the off season. There will be negligible mobile networks in this area. The drive to this place is very scenic via mountain range.

A must visit for anyone, also I’d highly recommended getting the audio guide, it gives a real in-depth explanation of the whole temple!

I visited the Temple this month with my family. The temple complex was very peaceful and serene. We were amazed by the architecture and sculptures of the temple. We spent about an hour exploring the different temples and admiring their beauty. The staff was very helpful and courteous.
I would highly recommend this temple to anyone who is interested in Jainism or Indian culture. It is a must-visit place in Rajasthan for its spiritual and historical significance.

Searching for “inner peace”, this is the place.
Absolute calmness, amidst greenery and forest. I bet this place would be cool and serene during scorching summer too. There are resorts nearby and you can plan a day of outing and experience safari and lot more here

Beautiful ancient architecture. The carving work is amazing. The Jain temple is surrounded by forest area. Besides there are many trees inside the temple campus which makes it even more beautiful. You might get to see many rare birds around. Surrounding was very peaceful. There is a nominal entry free( Extra fee is charged to carry phone inside). Locker facility is available to keep your phones. One of the best Jain tirth at Rajasthan to visit

Lying in the arms of the Aravalli hills, this majestic yet complete in harmony with nature, Ranakpur Jain Temple is one of the 5 most scared places for Jains. Built in 15th century completely out of white marble, this beautiful monument of devotional architecture is supported by 1444 artistically carved pillars - None of them with same design.

The road from Udaipur to Ranakpur is a must drive. All the way through journey there runs a river on one side of the road and other side are mountains which in rainfall creates a lot of waterfalls. Also the temple is an archaeological marvel. It’s peaceful, the sculptures dating back as 800 years.

Ranakpur jain temple is a brilliant example of architectural marvel. Nestled between the forest, visiting this place will definitely bring you peace and tranquility. The place is absolutely calm and beautiful. Please maintain the sanctity of the place. Apart from the main temple, there are other smaller temples as well. Do visit them too if you are not in hurry.
There is a bhojanshala (mess) as well where you can get a very tasty and satvic meal. You can easily spend a quality time with your family and friends.

It's beautiful intricate jain temples with o e of the best carvings on the stone. The temple complex is most peaceful, divine and soulful. The road to reach from Udaipur is narrow single road with lots of twists and turns. The temple is located in Aravalli mountain range so ready for driving through ghats. Entry is free. All male and female should cover themselves. Food is available at nominal cost.

Chaumukha Jain Temple, 1444 A forest of marble pillars, each carved differently from the other.
History of Ranakpur Jain Temple
Ranakpurpur Jain Temple was built to order by a local businessman named Darna Shah. He wanted a beautiful temple built after he had a dream of a celestial vehicle. Many sculptors and artists submitted their designs to Shah but none of them matched the image he had dreamt of. One plan that matched his dream was by an architect named Deepak from Mundara. Deepak was able to make a design because he was impressed by the dedication of Shah to build this temple. Afterwards, Shah sought the land to build the temple from King Rana Kumbha. Not only did he give a big piece of land to build the temple on, but he also asked Deepak to build a town around it. The town built was named Ranakpur, after the king, and the same town is now known as Ranakpur. The construction of the temple began in the 14th century and went on till the 15th century.
There are a total of 5 temples in India that are considered the most sacred for Jain. One of them is Ranakpur Jain Temple. The others in the list are Dilwara Temple in Mount Abu, Rajasthan; Khajuraho Temples in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh; Palitana Temples in Shatrunjya Hills, Gujarat; and Gomateshwara Temple in Shravanabelagola, Karnataka.
When you’re visiting Rajasthan, Ranakpur temple is one of the places recommended to visit. It also goes by the name of Charturmukha Dharana Vihara and is dedicated to Tirthankara Rishabhanatha who was the first Tirthankara of Jainism, and he also founded the Ikshvaku dynasty.
The complex of Ranakpur ka Jain mandir includes 5 temples.
Chaturmukha/Chaumukha Temple
Built in the 15th century using white marble, it is the most popular temple in the complex and it honours Adinath, also known as Rishabanatha. It gets its name from its 4-faced design. This temple is spread across 48,000 square feet and is known for its intricacy and beautifully carved 1444 pillars, 426 columns, 89 domes, and 29 halls. Interestingly, one of the pillars is incomplete. There’s a legend about the temple that one pillar is bound to be incomplete. Whenever it has been completed, it has broken the next day itself. 1444 pillars that support the temple have been carved with exquisite detail that is nearly impossible to do even today.
One of the most attractive features of the temple, besides the pillars, is the beautifully carved idol of Parshvanatha. It has been made out of a single slab of marble. Its beauty in the detail is due to the 1008 snake carefully crafted around the idol. The same idol also has two chauri bears and yaksha and yakshi, who are half-human and half-snake. There are also two elephants carved, one on either side, that seem to be purifying Parshavanath. And you can’t find the end of the tails of these elephants.
The Ranakpur Jain Mandir also has 84 bhonyras. Bhonyras are underground chambers that were built in the earlier times during disturbance to prevent the attacks on Jain idols. It is said that the design of Ranakpur Jain Temple was used as an inspiration to design Dilwara Temple. While Dilwara Jain Temple is not for its sculptures, Ranakpur Jain Temple is known for its intricacies in the design.
Suparshvanatha Temple
Supershvanatha is the seventh Tirthankara and this temple is dedicated. The intricate designs are present even in this temple. It is also popular for the erotic arts on the wall.
Surya Temple
The construction of this sun temple dates back to the 13th century, full 2 centuries before the construction of Ranakpur Jain Temple. But it got desecrated during the time of disturbance due to repeated attacks and was later reconstructed with the remaining temple complex.
So when you are looking for places to visit in Rajasthan, Ranakpur Jain Temple must be on your list

Of all the temples, monuments, palaces, etc. that I've seen in India, Ranakpur Jain Temple is the most impressive building I've ever visited. Completely mesmerizing in its ascetic beauty and engineering. Arguably more beautiful than the great Taj Mahal. It can't be described, not even videos and photos will ever do it justice, it MUST be experienced in person.
Its remote location gives it a distinct peacefulness and serenity that you won't find in other places within India. A MUST SEE bucket list item for sure! 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful example of Indian architecture and design. Make sure to include this place in your travel plan and admire the beauty of every corner of it. It has amazing vibes and every step you take is filled with positivity. If you are in Udaipur then you must visit this place and understand its history. Looking for "inner peace", this is the place.
Complete peace amidst greenery, hills and forests. I am sure this place will remain cool and calm even during the scorching heat. There are resorts nearby and you can plan a day trip and experience the Ranakpur Wild Area Safari. It is a must visit place. A unique temple that stands only with pillars, no walls. A total of 1444 marble pillars, each pillar has a different design. Very rich in architecture and carvings. It is highly recommended to visit before evening as there are no bulbs inside, only lamps are used for lighting. Therefore, you may miss seeing the carving in detail. However, seeing the temple lit only by lamps is a different experience altogether.

Very beautiful and well maintained. You are required to remove sandals, cover shoulders and knees, and remove any leather apparel such as belts, handbags. Also not allowed to carry water in. Charge of 100 rupees to take photographs. Can't take photographs of worship area. Audio headphones available to rent. Several steps up to entrance, not sure if alternative wheelchair access available.

The place is serene and peaceful..The architecture is spectacular..if you want to take a mobile you have to get tickets prior from the counter outside.Otherwise locker facility is available for just 10 rupees.
The architecture itself is so beautiful and the prayers and charms add beauty to the place.
You can peacefully pray here and see the place.
The stroll through the garden is also good as there are few temples apart from the main temple .
The outside view of the temple is also really nice.
Toursists are advised to maintain the decorum and instructions given by the staff as it's a religious place..Though it's a little bit away from the city.Its a must to visit place.

Great place for worship. Marvelous craftsmanship on the white marble. A must visit for all the Indians having interest in our culture and heritage. This place has a rich history and it is located in the valley of Aravali mountain on the bank of a rainy river with very little water during the off season. There will be negligible mobile networks in this area. The drive to this place is very scenic via mountain range.
