About Trinetra Ganesh temple
The three-eyed Ganesh inside Ranthambore Fort is said to have been installed by Hammir Dev during the 1301 siege, and it is one of the few Ganesh temples where the whole family is worshipped together. People post wedding invitations to the god here, and the postman delivers them. The Ganesh Chaturthi fair in Bhadrapad brings a huge crowd up the fort steps.
