Moti Doongri

Location

A favourite hot spot of the tourist folk, Moti Doongri is famous for its swanky palace, the Ganesh and Lakshmi Narayan temples. The palace at the uphill was a small fortress earlier and it was renovated by Sawai Man Singh II. It was the residence of the Rajmatha, Gayathri Devi. Monti Doongri palace is built in the style of a Scottish castle and its peculiar architecture is worth mentioning.

Since this is a private property of the royal family public are not allowed to go inside the palace. Monti Doongri palace was used to be the venue of great parties during the time of Sawai Man Singh II. Ganesh temple at the foot of the hill allures not only the devotees but also the sightseer with its picturesque settings. Another fascinating attraction is the Birla Mandir, which embarrasses the tourists with its sheer beauty.
