The way to the temple is through a bazaar, full of shops selling flowers, sweets, incense sticks and other offerings for Baba, which lead you to the main darshan queue. Before proceeding towards the queue, one needs to deposit one’s footwear, leather bags, cameras and other electronic items at the counters outside.

The Ranchhodrai Temple - Dakor

, I finally reached the main temple – The Ranchhodraiji Temple. After going through the normal security check (Photography is not allowed inside), I entered through one of the four main temple gates. The gates were huge and magnificently carved with Vedic Gods like the Sun, the Moon and the Ganesha. They all seemed to guard the entrance. The gates open in a wide and a large courtyard. Standing high on a plinth (about ten stone steps on each side), in the middle of the courtyard is the main temple overlooking the Gomti lake. The main temple was built by Shri Gopalrao Jagannath Tambwekar in 1772 A.D.
