Facts and practical information

Perched atop a hill in the vibrant city of Jaipur, India, Moti Dungri stands as an emblematic landmark, renowned for its historical and cultural significance. The term Moti Dungri translates to 'Pearl Hill' in English, and the site is known for the imposing Ganesh Temple and the Moti Dungri Fort, which are integral parts of Jaipur's heritage.

The Ganesh Temple at Moti Dungri is a focal point for devotees and tourists alike. Constructed using the traditional Indian architectural style, the temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Hindu deity revered for being the remover of obstacles. This spiritual site attracts a multitude of worshippers, particularly on Wednesdays, which are considered auspicious for Lord Ganesha.

Adjacent to the temple stands the Moti Dungri Fort, a small yet enchanting fortress that once served as a lookout over the city. Although the fort itself is not open to the public, its stunning architecture, reminiscent of Scottish castles, continues to captivate onlookers. The fort was built in the early 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Man Singh and has since been a prominent feature of Jaipur's skyline.

The hill on which Moti Dungri is situated provides a panoramic view of Jaipur, making it a popular spot for photographers and sightseers. The scenic beauty of the surrounding landscapes, combined with the tranquil ambiance of the temple, offers a serene escape from the bustling city life.
