This
ancient pilgrim site amidst was one of the principal seats
of the Ramanand sect of Vaishnavites. The captivating pilgrimage
center is also associated with sage Galava who performed
penance here. The sacred site has a temple dedicated to
the Sun God (which is the only one of its kind in this part
of the country) built by Diwan Kriparam which can also be
reached through a 2.5 km. climb from the Suraj Pol. The
temple spires and peaks overlooking a picturesque gorge
provides an impressive view of the Jaipur city. The temples,
pavilions and holy kunds along the lush landscape makes
it a very delightful spot. To the east of the temple is
a reservoir or a tank which is perennially fed by a never-failing
spring of pure water falling from a gaumukh (an outlet shaped
like the mouth of a cow). Many pilgrims visit this sacred
site to take a holy dip in the kunds, the waters of which
are believed to possess curative powers. Nearby, are located
various other ancient temples, beautiful garden and kiosks.
