Description

You'll be picked up from your hotel in Jaipur first thing in the morning, ready to start exploring the most important temples in the Rajasthani capital. Ready to get lost in the diverse holy sanctuaries of India, the birthplace of four of the world's major religions? Your first stop will be Galtaji, an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site built into the Aravalli Hills just over 6 miles from Jaipur city center. The complex includes a number of temples and water tanks, filled with sacred springs from the mountains, in which pilgrims bathe and perform purification rituals. The Sun temple is particularly special: it is also called the Monkey Temple as these friendly primates have made it their home. Climbing up to the hilltop shrines will afford you the most spectacular views over Jaipur - don't forget your camera! After exploring Galtaji, you'll meet back at the bus to head to your next stop: Jagat Shiromani. Not far from the iconic Amber Fort, the construction of this Hindu temple was ordered by Queen Kanakwati at the end of the 16th century in memory of her son Jagat Singh. From this intricately carved shrine, you'll make your way to Kale Hanuman Ji and Govind Dev Ji. Continuing your route around the temples of the Rajasthani capital, you'll visit the Birla Mandir. Located on elevated ground at the Moti Dungari hill, this beautiful Hindu sanctuary is surrounded by luscious gardens. As the gleaming white marble architecture captivates you, learn all about the symbolism of the temple's three domes, representing the three ways of approaching the religion. You'll visit Hawa Mahal, the gloriously elaborate pink sandstone building also known as Jaipur's Palace of the Winds.
