Galtaji, Hindu temple complex in Jaipur, India.

The temple structures rise within a mountain crevice, featuring multiple shrines, pavilions, and seven sacred water tanks filled by natural springs.

Constructed in the 16th century under Sawai Jai Singh II's reign, Galtaji became a center for the Ramanandi sect through Saint Galav's presence.

Ramanandi followers from northern India gather at Galtaji to perform rituals in the sacred water tanks, particularly during Makar Sankranti festival.

The temple complex opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with the most comfortable visiting period occurring between October and March.

Natural spring water flows through a cow head-shaped rock formation called Gaumukh, filling seven different tanks within the pink sandstone complex.
