The temple situated on a hilltop and surrounded by hills on three sides was commissioned by Pandit Radhe Lal Choubey, a resident of Jamwa Ramgarh after he chanced upon a rock with a carving of Lord Hanuman. Taking it as a cue, he decided to build a temple at the site in 1961. The Dal- Bati Churma and Swamani Prashads which are cooked in the numerous kitchens inside the temple premises are quite famous here. One should not miss these Prashad.
Tour the second hidden gem of Jaipur Panna Meena Stepwell, The beautiful 16th-century yellow-colored stepwell lies in the shadow of a famous fortress Amber Fort. A pretty baori (step-well) with geometrical designs and sharp shadows that has been restored. This stepwell was built so the people of Amer could collect water, which was later used at many temples nearby. Women also came here to fill their water pots for household work. Apart from this, Panna Meena ka Kund was a resting place for many travelers—business people and saints alike—as the temperature inside the stepwell is significantly cooler.

The museum comes with a wide range of toys and figurines, which exhibit various genres and styles.
