Galtaji Temple in Jaipur is a prehistoric pilgrimage location where the grand saint Galav is believed to have spent his life and completed his meditation. Galta is situated 10 km from Jaipur on Jaipur-Agra highway near Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh. The famous temples of the place include the triple-storied temple of Balaji, which appeals to the aesthetic sense of the visitors and is built in pink stone.

Its magnificent structure looks more like an extravagant mansion or Haveli. Situated amidst the low hills, is the Temple of Galtaji, which is also in pink stone and has a huge complex. A large number of people take a holy bath in these tanks especially on Makar Sankranti in mid-January. Gaumukh feeds these tanks, which is a spring originating from a rock shaped like a cow's head. Yet another notable temple that is worth visiting at Galta is the 18th century Surya Temple dedicated to the Sun God, which is situated on top of the highest peak here.
