You will be picked up from your hotel in Jaipur in the morning to start exploring the most important temples in Rajasthan.

Next, explore the Birla Mandir, positioned on Moti Dungari hill, surrounded by gardens. Learn about the symbolism of its three domes, representing different approaches to the religion.

The tour concludes with visits to Akshardham and Lakshminarayan temples, finishing at the Hawa Mahal, the elaborately designed pink sandstone structure known as Jaipur's Palace of the Winds.
