Nahar Ke Ganesha is a popular temple located at the foot of Nahargarh hill in Jaipur, Rajasthan, which is famous by this name because it is near a canal. It is about 250 years old and has an idol of Ganesha facing south and with a right trunk. There is a belief of making an inverted swastika in the temple, which brings success in work, and devotees dress the Lord in heavy royal attire.
