Garh Ganesh Temple History

In Hinduism, when we start any new work, we always remember our god and pray to complete our work.

This way of prayer comes from our ancestors, and we follow it for our every new starting work.

Our most ancient temple Garh Ganesh is a sign of this type of worship for us.

The last reign of  Amber Fort Palace was Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh I because, during his time, Amber suffered from water inefficiency.

So, before constructing Jaipur, he completed “Ashwamegh Yagh” at this place and put the Purushakriti statue of Lord Ganesha.

He made this temple in such a structure that he could see this statue of Ganesha from his bedroom at Chandermahal of the City palace with the help of binoculars.
