Garh Ganesh Mandir Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh I built the Garh Ganesha temple while he was participating in the Ashwamegha Yagya. He built the temple and the location where the statue of Lord Ganesha would be. The city of Jaipur was then discovered. The deity's statue was placed so that, with the aid of binoculars, the monarch could view it from his palace in Jaipur. ENTRY FEES There is no entrance fee, however you are always welcome to make any amount of donations to the temple fund. BEST TIME TO VISIT This Jaipur temple is best visited during Ganesh Chaturthi, when a five-day fair is held there each year.
