Trinetra Ganesh Temple
त्रिनेत्र गणेश मंदिर
A famous Ganesh temple inside Ranthambore Fort, enshrining the rare three-eyed Ganesh, to whom devotees send wedding invitations to request blessings.
This temple is said to have been built in the 13th century by King Hammir. Its Ganesh image has three eyes and is worshipped alongside his wife and son, which is extremely rare in India. Devotees customarily send wedding invitations and written prayers to the temple, and postmen deliver piles of letters every day. Visiting involves climbing the steps up the fort, and entry is free. Shoes must be removed before entering the temple. During the Ganesh festival (usually in August and September), crowds are very large, so early mornings on ordinary days are the quietest time to visit.
