The temple dedicated
to Lord Ganesha is located in the fort of Ranthambhor,
about 12 kms from Sawai Madhopur and it is one of the most
important Ganesha temples in the State. There is always a
lot of activity at the temple because people believe that
the first invitation to a marriage should be sent to Lord
Ganesha. This temple is the site for Ganesh Chaturthi
celebrations attracting devotees from all over to join in
the singing of devotional songs. The Orange color in which
the idol is painted as well is the holy colour for this
festival. The idol is lavishly decorated with golden
ornaments and every day felicities with huge garlands of
marigold.
There are markets
around the temple attracting the tourists and visitors. |
