- Mobile241159155571 contributionThe temple is one the most beautiful temples in Jaipur city. The temple is dedicated to the deities Lakshmi and Narayana, the divine powers in hindu religion. The environment of the temple is peaceful and serene and is quite suitable for people to visit anytime safely. The architecture is magnificent and is made mostly of white marbel, which shows traditional elements and tranquility. The temple is constructed on a particular height to provide visiters with great views from the temple. The sunets and sunrises from the temple look stunning.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lauren B67 contributionsI preferred looking around and shopping here compared to other markets in Jaipur (near Hawa Mahal etc). We went early morning and not too many around and was easier to walk around and get around shop keepers trying to get you in their shop.
Lots of items to see and we bargained a little bit but items are already quite reasonable anyway. We got a tuk tuk from our hotel who waited at the same spot for us after an hour. Wish I had have had more time to have a look around.Written January 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- S&JBursledon, UK42 contributionsSo much fun seeing the monkeys, playing swimming and enjoying life.
Only spoilt by the guys near the temple who try to charge visits (mainly foreign tourists) to get in.
This is a temple, so only give donations to the monks or in the authorised donation boxes (remove shoes if within a prayer area).Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The intricate details and vibrant colors glowed under the soft lighting, creating a magical ambiance. The serene atmosphere and beautiful illuminations made it a perfect spot for an evening stroll and photography, leaving a lasting impression on me.Written May 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raj_TeeLondon, UK1,066 contributionsA must-see stepwell that is typically part of your guided Golden Triangle tour. We saw three stepwells during our tour, and this one, along with the others, was an impressive sight. In my humble opinion, overall, while it may not be as grand as Chand Baori, Panna Meena Ka Kund is a convenient and fascinating stop if you’re exploring Jaipur.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VIPIN_GOEL_TP_ImpexNew Delhi, India8,268 contributionsJohari Bazaar, a must visit market, located near Hawa Mahal is a shopper’s paradise in Jaipur. The word ‘Johari’ in Hindi means ‘Jeweller’, so the name describes itself. The market is lined with hundreds of shops that deal with exclusive jewellery and artefacts representing the rich Rajasthani culture and craftsmanship of the city. Not only jewellery, it is also an ideal place to shop for lehengas, exquisite Mojari’s or Jutis (leather sandals), and sarees in colourful Bandhej and glittering stonework or gemstones. We went there to buy lahengas, bed sheets, gift items, souvenirs, shawls etc. After moving in different streets we were able to find the most to our satisfaction. Even if you are there not to buy anything, the market will tempt you to buy something. If you feel tired and dry, do not forget to have Shikanjee or Sugar Cane Juice. One can try local snacks also.Written June 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Branson DSydney, Australia3 contributionsThe actual temple was an enormous and magnificent structure. It is said to be the largest Hindu temple in the world, and after visiting it I could absolutely understand why that is the case. The temple's architecture was so beautiful it took one's breath away. The complex and detailed carvings that were done on the pillars demonstrated a high level of skill. I couldn't help but admire the meticulous craftsmanship that went into designing the temple.Written January 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DayTrip662411712351 contribution*A visit to Gyan Museum at Jaipur - a hidden gem to visit*
As we were landing into Jaipur airport I had my Google Map ON and powered by GPS, I was seeing the approach at Jaipur Airport.. A place near the Airport GYAN MUSEUM came up and it intrigued me and I checked the website after landing.. It was a museum housing hundreds of artifacts collected by Shri Gyan Chand Dadha (Jain), which was his private collection, now opened for public viewing after his death, as allowed by his sons, as a homage for their Dad. Visit is by invitation only and we can request a viewing after sending them an email and after getting a confirmation back from the curators, who like to restrict the number of people who could visit, at the same time.
I emailed them requesting for a booking, however I got no reply in the 1 hr of sending it, being lunch time. I was close to the museum area and had a little time on hand and hence decided to reach unannounced and hoped we would manage to get a viewing, as we were unsure of the visit there on the following day. We got lucky and the curators let us have a viewing.
The visit was everything as promised on the museum website and the artifacts on display were marvelous pieces collected by Gyanji during his lifetime from various places and sources.
His collection, 1st started with 2 silver Hookah mouth pieces which were gifted to him on his 16th birthday. He thereafter collected various Hookah mouth pieces and their base, the largest no of pieces of Hookah which are on display at any museum. This was as informed by the curators.
There are a large number of textiles, clothes, specs, watches and clocks, coins from the various periods of history, guns, antique pieces, a library which has a lot of books which pertain to the eras gone by. There were Jain manuscripts and exquisite miniature paintings done with a 0 size paintbrush or with a single/few hairs of a squirrel. The ganjifa cards, originating from Sawantwadi in Maharashtra and also pendants which were fully made and some which were incomplete, as they were missing the hoops, were also on display. I really loved the chess set which had the pieces of both sides made with ruby and emeralds.
A book which caught my eye was "30,000 years of Art". The oldest paintings as discovered in India are dated from about 10,000 BCE - old cave paintings at the Udaygiri Caves and at Bhimbhetka in MP. So I really would like to know more about the 30,000 year old Art from across the world. I will look into that in due course, during my travels when possible.
Gyanji - a jeweller by profession, had a vast, very exquisite jewellery pieces which were on display, which was from his private and his family collections, bought and collected across the years by him.
The Gyan Museum is a lesser known place of visit and I had never heard of it during the more than 20 years of frequent visits to Jaipur, but I am pardoned because this place has opened for public viewing only in the last 10 years during which time my visits to Jaipur were majorly reduced.
I highly recommend this as a to-do place to visit and the curators mentioned that they are featured on Trip Advisor as a place to visit while in Jaipur and I fully support that, although I just chanced upon the place by looking on Google Maps. Being away from the main city, and closer to the Jaipur Airport, even then it is a place worth seeing and by spending a few hours visiting while you are in Jaipur. The curators, Nikita and Adib explained the artifacts in great detail and I applaud them as well. A must do during a visit to Jaipur👏🏻👏🏻Written August 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This ancient complex carved into the Aravalli hills is like an Indiana Jones adventure coming to life. Monkeys swing from the rooftops, colourful prayer flags flutter in the breeze, and the views are simply stunning.
Exploring the temples feels like stepping back in time. Intricate carvings, hidden shrines, and natural caves whisper stories of saints and pilgrims.
