Jagat Shiromani Temple in Amer

Jagat Shiromani Temple stands in Amer town at the foot of Amber Fort and dates from the early 17th century. It was built by Queen Kanakwati, wife of Raja Man Singh I, in memory of their son Jagat Singh, and is known for its fine Nagara style carving and an ornate carved marble gateway. The temple is dedicated to Krishna, and tradition holds that its Krishna image is the one worshipped by the poet saint Meera Bai. It is a short walk from Panna Meena ka Kund and much quieter than the fort above.
