And given the fact that our city is known as \u2018Chhoti Kashi\u2019, you will be spoilt for choices when it comes to the number of temples of the deity in the city. Some of these temples are believed to be centuries old and very famous among millions of people not just from Jaipur, but all over the country.<\/p>\n Here are four Shiva temples in and around Jaipur that you should absolutely visit if you are a Shiva devotee:<\/p>\n Eklingeshwar Temple at Mooti Dungari <\/strong><\/p>\n The gates of this temple on Mooti Dungari hills are thrown open for devotees only on Maha Shivaratri. It is believed that Lord Shiva performs Sadhna here alone, without his family being in the presence. Mooti Dungari fort was once known as Shankargarh because a saint by the same name had performed Samadhi<\/em> here.<\/p>\n
