Ghanerao, a small village located in the desert state of Rajasthan, is famous for its heritage, landscape and wildlife. A quiet village with an assortment of temples, step wells and marble archways, Ghanerao and its vicinity abound in temples, both Hindu and Jain. There are about eleven Jain temples (a few of them quite old) in the village itself. Besides these are the temples of Laxmi Narainji, Murlidhai and Chabhiya. On its outskirts is a temple dedicated to Lord Mahadev. The temple of Gajanand is worth seeing for its enormous statue, which is flanked by goddesses Ridhi and Siddhi, guarded by Hanuman on one side and Bhairon on the other.
