Shri Kalyanji Temple

The temple is a major pilgrimage site, especially for t hose seeking relief from skin diseases and worldly miseries. The idol is carved from shimmering white marble and features four arms, representing the benevolent form of the deity. Every year, thousands of devotees undertake a barefoot journey (Padyatra) from Jaipur to Diggi to offer prayers. The atmosphere is charged with spiritual energy, especially during the bhajan sessions held in the ornate prayer hall.
