Jagdish Temple
Jagdish Chowk, Old City, India

Jagdish Temple stands close to City Palace, but it deserves its own pause. A stairway guarded by stone elephants leads to a seventeenth-century Vishnu temple with richly carved pillars and exterior walls. Look closely at the sculptural detail before entering the worship spaces. This remains a working temple, so allow worshippers priority and follow instructions about shoes and photography. The steps are an important consideration for visitors with limited mobility.
