गलताजी

Jaipur, India

Deity: Surya, Hanuman

Galtaji is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site located approximately 10 km east of Jaipur, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The site consists of a series of temples built into a narrow crevice in the ring of hills surrounding Jaipur. A natural spring emerges high on the hill and flows downward, filling a series of sacred kunds in which pilgrims bathe. Visitors can ascend the crevasse, continuing past the highest water pool to a hilltop temple, where panoramic views of Jaipur and its fortifications can be seen. It is believed that a saint named Galav lived here, practiced meditation, and performed penance (tapasya).
