Ganesh Mandir, Jhansi

Inside the Jhansi Fort is the Ganesh Temple used by the royal family for the worship. (Click on the images for bigger picture)

This is a simple temple built in a very small area very close to the gate. In Jhansi (state: Uttar Pradesh) this is one of the most popular temple. The wall behind the temple is the inner walls of the fort. A tour of fort is not complete without a visit to this temple.

  18. Temples say so much about the people who use them, whether grand or small, they are all there for us to pray to whatever God we believe in and to rainse our aspirations.

  28. I like your description of "simple." It doesn't look very "simple" to me - it looks quite elaborate! All your temples look quite elaborate!

    Very nice!
