Religious festivals in Rajasthan

Overview

Large crowds of devotees have gathered across various sites in Rajasthan to observe major Hindu festivals.

In Jaipur, the Motidunagri Ganesh Temple experienced massive attendance during Ganesh Chaturthi. The celebrations involved significant demand for henna and the use of elaborate decorations, including a gold crown and jewel-encrusted clothing for the deity. To accommodate pilgrims traveling from cities such as Delhi and Chandigarh, temple authorities utilized volunteers and specialized transport for elderly visitors, though the influx caused local traffic congestion.

In the Chittorgarh district, the Shardiya Navratri festival commenced at several Shaktipeeth temples. Rituals such as Ghat Sthapana and the lighting of the Akhand Jyot were performed at the Shobhavati Mata Temple. Significant attendance was also noted at the Kalika Mata Temple within Chittorgarh Fort, with devotees traveling long distances to reach various shrines including Jhatla Mata and Joganiya Mata.
