1. Moti Dungri Ganesh Ji
Built in 1761 under the supervision of Seth Jayram Paliwal, it is one of the most significant temples in Jaipur dedicated to Lord Ganesha.
Raja Sawai Madho Singh Ji brought the Lord Ganesha idol established in Moti Dungri Temple from Mavali in Mewar to Jaipur. On arriving in Jaipur, the bullock cart stopped at Moti Dungri and couldn’t be moved even after numerous attempts, so Madho Singh Ji ordered the construction of the temple at the foothill of Moti Dungri. The Lord Ganesha in the temple is vermilion colored, and his trunk is right-sided, which makes idol very auspicious.
