Temple

Godavari Dham Balaji Temple is a popular Hanuman (Balaji) temple in Kota situated near the Chambal River. Devotees widely regard it as a wish-fulfilling shrine dedicated to Lord Hanuman — known locally as Balaji — with additional smaller shrines to Lord Shiva, Ganesh, Bhairav, Ram, Sita and Lakshman within the complex. The temple’s white marble architecture and twin towers at the entrance create an impressive look, often highlighted by photographers and pilgrims alike. Many devotees also perform riverfront aarti and darshan along the Chambal banks, adding to the spiritual ambience.

Maa Trikuta Temple is a beautiful and spiritually immersive temple complex in Kota modeled on the spiritual ambience of Vaishno Devi’s cave route (Katra) — with artificial hills, cave-like paths, and sacred walkways that give visitors an uplifting pilgrimage-like experience. The temple is dedicated to Maa Vaishnavi (a form of Goddess Durga) and features sculptures, waterfalls, natural-style rock formations, animal statues, and themed spiritual sections that make it both a religious and scenic attraction.

Kansua Shiv Mandir is one of the oldest and most revered Shiva temples in Kota, known locally as Kansua Dham. It’s dedicated to Lord Shiva and attracts devotees from across Rajasthan for daily darshan and during festivals. Inside the temple complex you’ll find idols of Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Ganesh, Kartikeya, and Ashokasundari — representing Lord Shiva’s divine family, making it a spiritually rich place for worship and family visits.

The Khade Ganesh Ji Mandir in Kota is one of the city’s most beloved Ganesha temples, dedicated to Lord Ganesha in a rare standing posture — unlike the usual seated form found in many temples. This distinctive feature makes it a popular spiritual destination for devotees especially seeking blessings for success, wisdom, and the removal of obstacles. The temple is believed to be over 600 years old, reflecting deep historical roots in local worship traditions.
