A revered 18th-century Hindu sanctuary built in 1761 at the base of the Moti Dungri palace hill in Jaipur. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, it enshrines a centuries-old vermilion idol whose trunk uniquely curves to the right, a rare iconographic feature. Thousands of worshippers gather every Wednesday to take part in the ceremonial aarti and offer traditional laddus.
