Trinetra Ganesh Temple stands inside Ranthambore Fort and is believed to be among the oldest Ganesh shrines in India. Devotees from across the country send wedding cards and invitations to Lord Ganesh here, asking for blessings for new beginnings.
The idol is called Trinetra because Ganesh is shown with three eyes. A trip to the temple blends faith, history and a walk through the fort, and it fits naturally into a day around Ranthambore.
