Moti Dungri Ganesh Ji Temple

This guide to Moti Dungri Ganesh Ji Temple in Jaipur opens in 1761, when a bullock cart carrying a stone idol of Ganesha left Udaipur under a royal promise: a temple would rise wherever the cart first stopped. You'll hear how merchant Seth Jai Ram Paliwal built at the foot of this small hill once the cart refused to move, and about the fortress above it that became the private home of Maharani Gayatri Devi, the last queen of Jaipur. Listen for the crowds gathering here each Wednesday ahead of weddings and new ventures.
