Jagat Shiromani Temple, Hindu temple in Amber, India

Located near Amer Fort, the temple exhibits marble structures with intricate carvings of elephants, horses, and scenes from mythological texts.

Queen Kanakwati, wife of King Man Singh I, commissioned the construction of this temple between 1599 and 1608 to honor their son Jagat Singh.

The temple houses statues of Krishna, Vishnu, and Meera Bai, representing the connection between royal patronage and religious devotion in Rajasthan.

Visitors can access the temple through two entrances: the main road of Amer town or via the stairs leading from Amer Palace.

The temple contains a Krishna statue from Mewar that was protected during conflicts and transported to this location for safekeeping.
