Galta Ji Mandir, a little outside Jaipur, is a very peaceful and holy place hidden amidst the mountains. People also call this place Monkey Temple because there are a lot of monkeys here and they feel exactly like their home. As soon as you reach here, a unique feeling of peace is felt. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this temple is built in a valley amidst the mountains, where nature and devotion both meet together. It is said that Rishi Galav did tapasya here, hence its name Galta Kund. There are many Kunds (sacred water-kunds) inside the temple, out of which the holiest is considered to be Galta Kund. People come here to take a bath, to purify their mind. The most special thing is that this Kund never dries up, it has water even during summers, which makes it even more amazing. The buildings of the temple are old, but there is a different kind of peace in them. The yellow and pink colored buildings, the sound of the temple bells, and the monkeys that keep roaming around all together create a different kind of atmosphere. Some people are worshipping, while some people are sitting quietly and just feeling the peace. If you climb a little higher, you reach a place from where you can see the whole of Jaipur. And if you reach there during sunset, both the temple and the city look absolutely golden in the sunlight. Galta Ji Mandir is not just a religious place, it is a place where you can spend some time with yourself. The air, peace and the confluence of nature here soothes the heart. Whether you go there as a devotee or just to find peace – this place settles in your heart. Galtaji Temple is a must visit in Jaipur.
