The trunk of the sindoor-coloured Ganesha icon is rightwards.Devotees offer laddo sweets, at least, 1.25 lakh devotees pay respect to Ganesha every year. A fair is organized every Wednesday in the temple complex.
There is a lingam (icon of the god Shiva) in the Moti Dungri Fort complex, which open to visitors once a year on Mahashivratri, the festival of Shiva.The Birla Mandir shrine dedicated to the deities Lakshmi Narayan is situated south of Ganesha temple.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the fort palace of maharani gayatri devi- who had her only son maharaj jagat staying there, a small but beautiful place. a typical small cute fort/ garh overlooking the city and the rambagh palace.
now it belongs to princess lalitya and her brother maharaj devraj.
sadly embroiled in a legal battle where the others want to snatch it from the rightful owners- the son and daughter of late maharaja jagat singh - son of rajmata gayatri dev.
hope fully it shall be free from the encrumbcenses and open to public to see the grandeur of the royalty of india. i wish we had never demolished this great heritage of india and helped them run their palaces and forts and attract tourism from all over the world. its a great industry.
what a great heritage and beauty the city of jaipur has infact all over india there are hundred of beautiful palaces and forts which could have been maintained and been a matter of pride and beauty for each city - town or village.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ MOTI DUNGRI: - THE HILL OF PEARLS
A small hill located in the heart of Jaipur. Moti means Pearl and Dungri means small hill and therefore the name Moti Dungri symbolizes a pearl hill which is truly depicted by its look of a Drop of Pearl. Moti Dungri hilltop is a true representation of Scottish Castle. The palace in past was residential premises of Sawai Man Singh II (last ruler of Jaipur). Later it became the residence of Rajmata Gaytri Devi and her son Jagat Singh (youngest son of ruler). This palace is now private property of this royal family and restricts public entrance except the Lord Ganesha temple which is highlight of this area. Both palace and temple are true architectural masterpieces.
According to legends, King of Mawali (Mewar) while returning from a long journey to his palace wished to establish a temple at the first halting point of his bullock cart that was carrying the huge idol of Lord Ganesha. His cart became resistive and stopped at the foot of the Moti Dungri hills which lead to setting up of Ganesha temple at this place.
The responsibility of commissioning the entire construction and designing task was handed over to Seth Jai Ram Paliwal. It was under the supervision of Seth Paliwal and Chief Priest Mahant Shiv Narain Ji that the creation of this glorious structure was carried out with utmost level of meticulousness. Completed in approximately 4 months, this temple homes Ganesha idol where only Lord Shiva followers (Shaiva) were allowed to pay their visit. Shaivism constitutes to be one of the oldest of four sects of Hinduism and comprises of followers of Lord Shiva. But today it is known be popular religious cum tourist destination. Thousands of disciples searching for eternal delight assemble at this temple to worship God of auspiciousness i.e. Lord Ganesha.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The fort is located on a hill and has a shiv temple inside. The temple is open to public only on Shivratri festival day. Lakhs of shiv devotees line up from midnight so as to have darshan of Lord shiva. A unique experience to have darshan.
