History

The Moti Dungri temple is situated at bottom of the Moti Dungri hill and the fort of Moti Dungri in Jaipur, Rajasthan.[1][2] The icon of the god Ganesha established in the temple is said to be more than five-hundred years old,[3] and was brought here in 1761 by Seth Jai Ram Pallival who was accompanying Maharaja Madho Singh I, from Udaipur.[4][5] It was brought to Udaipur from Gujarat. The temple was built under Pallival's supervision.[6][7]

The trunk of the sindoor-coloured Ganesha icon is rightwards.[8][9] Devotees offer laddo sweets, at least, 1.25 lakh devotees pay respect to Ganesha every year.[10][11][12] A fair is organized every Wednesday in the temple complex.[13][14]

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.[15][16][17] The Birla Mandir shrine dedicated to the deities Lakshmi Narayan is situated south of Ganesha temple.[13]

Architecture

The layout and structure of Moti Dungri is built in the Nagara style and is based on the model of Scottish castle.[18][19] There are three entrance gates and few steps at the front.[13] It was built using limestone and marble and construction work was completed in 4 months.[20]

Transport

The temple is 6-km distant from Jaipur. Jaipur International Airport is the nearest airport and the Gandhi Nagar, nearest railway station.[20]
