Spiritual Events & Temple Festivals in Jaipur

Faith shapes Jaipur's calendar as much as royalty does. Govind Dev Ji, the Krishna temple in the City Palace complex, is the city's presiding shrine; its daily aartis draw large congregations, a projection-mapped light and sound show in the garden behind it tells the temple's story, and Janmashtami and the days before Holi are its biggest occasions. The Moti Dungri Ganesh temple and the white-marble Birla Mandir stand together off JLN Marg, and Galta Ji, the spring-fed temple complex in the hills on the Agra Road side, fills on Makar Sankranti. Large kathas and discourses use grounds such as Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium, gurdwaras in Raja Park mark Gurpurab with processions and langar, and the Teej and Gangaur processions carry the goddess through the old city. This page lists temple festivals, kathas, satsangs, kirtans and meditation events in Jaipur.
