Ranthambore Ganesh Temple History: In Sanatan Dharma, Lord Ganesha is worshiped first on any auspicious occasion. Generally, in most of the temples of the country, Lord Ganesha is seated alone or with the vehicle of a rat, but in an ancient and historical fort of Rajasthan, Lord Ganesha is seated with his entire family. Not only this, here devotees can also see the rare form of Lord Ganesha with three eyes. This grand religious place is the famous ‘Trinetra Ganesh Temple’ of Ranthambore.

This temple situated on the hill attracts tourists and devotees from all over the country. Nestled amidst the surrounding natural beauty and the grandeur of the fort, this Ganpati temple is a unique confluence of spirituality and history.

History of Trinetra Ganesh Temple

There is an interesting history behind the construction of this temple in the 13th century. At that time, the ruler of Ranthambore, King Hamir Dev, was a great devotee of Lord Ganesha. At the same time, Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Delhi attacked the fort, due to which a long war broke out. As the war progressed, the stock of grains and essential materials in the fort started decreasing. When the worried king prayed to Lord Ganesha, Vigneshwar appeared in his dream and assured him, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

According to local beliefs, the next morning a three-eyed idol of Ganesha miraculously appeared on the wall of the fort. Soon after, the situation of the war changed and the enemy forces retreated. Surprisingly, the empty grain stores of the fort were also filled again. History says that to express his gratitude towards this divine miracle, King Hamir Dev built a grand temple at the same place where Lord Ganesha had appeared.

Here Lord Ganesha not only resides in the form of three eyes, but also gives darshan to the devotees along with his entire family. His wives Riddhi and Siddhi are sitting next to Vighnaraj, while his beloved sons Shubh and Labh are also with him. Devotees strongly believe that seeing Ganapati seated with the entire family brings happiness, wealth, intelligence and success in business.
