Why a date can differ: a tithi (lunar day) begins at the same instant everywhere on earth, but a festival is kept on the local day when its tithi holds at the right moment, such as sunrise or moonrise. Jaipur’s sunrise and moonrise come at different minutes from Delhi’s, so now and then that moment lands on a different calendar day here. For festivals not listed, see the festival calendar.

Hindu temples in and around Jaipur
Mandirs across the Jaipur area, from the city to the suburbs. Check each temple’s website for darshan hours and its festival programme.
Shri Govind Dev Ji Temple
The temple says Shri Rupa Goswami recovered the deity at Goma Tila in Vrindavan on Basant Panchami in 1525, that Radha Rani was installed at Govind’s left in 1633, and that Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II gave the image of Sakhi Vishakha in 1727 and Maharaja Pratap Singh that of Sakhi Lalita in 1801.
Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple
Rajasthan Tourism says Seth Jai Ram Paliwal built the temple at the foot of Moti Doongri, the ‘pearl hill’, where by legend a bullock cart carrying a massive Ganesh idol came to a stop, and the temple’s own site notes that a fair is held there every Wednesday.
Birla Mandir (Lakshmi Narayan Temple)
Rajasthan Tourism says the Birla family built this white marble temple at the base of Moti Dungari in 1988, and that its images of Lakshmi and Narayan are each carved from a single piece of marble.
Galta Ji
Rajasthan Tourism describes Galtaji as an ancient pilgrimage centre of temples, pavilions and spring-fed holy kunds set among low hills, with the Ramgopalji temple, called the Monkey Temple, and a hilltop Surya Mandir built by Diwan Kriparam that can be seen from across the city.
Khole ke Hanuman Ji Temple
Rajasthan Patrika reports that Pandit Radhelal Choubey found a large reclining Hanuman idol in a lonely ravine of the city’s eastern hills in the 1960s and founded the Narwar Ashram Seva Samiti in 1961 to develop the temple, which is named for the rainwater stream, or khola, that once ran there; crowds swell on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Garh Ganesh Temple
ETV Bharat reports that Jaipur’s founder, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, had this child-form Ganesh consecrated with an Ashwamedha Yagya, and the head priest says the king began each day by viewing the deity through a telescope from the City Palace.
Shri Shila Devi Temple
Rajasthan’s Devasthan Department says Maharaja Man Singh I brought the goddess from eastern Bengal towards the end of the 16th century, her image having been recovered from the sea as a stone slab, or shila, which gives Shila Mata her name; the nine days of Navratri in Chaitra and Ashwin draw a constant stream of devotees.
Jagat Shiromani Temple
Rajasthan Tourism says Queen Kanakwati, wife of Raja Man Singh I, is said to have built the temple around 1599 to 1608 in memory of their son Jagat Singh, and that by tradition its idols are the ones Meera Bai worshipped in Mewar.
Jharkhand Mahadev Temple
ANI reports that building began in 1918, when the site had only a sanctum, that a trust has managed the temple since 1965, and that it was extensively rebuilt from 2000 with South Indian Dravidian elements around the original shrine.
ISKCON Jaipur, Sri Sri Giridhari Dauji Temple
ISKCON says its Jaipur centre began in 1991 and opened the temple in 2019 to fulfil Srila Prabhupada’s 1975 wish for a Krishna Balarama temple in Jaipur, and that its stained glass windows of Krishna’s pastimes took from 2006 to 2018 to complete.
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
BAPS reports that Pramukh Swami Maharaj consecrated the murtis of this shikharbaddh mandir, carved in pink stone by Rajasthani sculptors and BAPS volunteers, on 6 October 2005, the day after a procession of the murtis through the heart of the city.
Shri Kalki Ji Temple
Rajasthan’s Devasthan Department says Jaipur’s founder built this temple to Kalki directly opposite the Sireh Deori, the eastern gateway of his palace, and set a white marble horse, Kalki’s mount, in a separate sanctum beside it.
