There are seven reservoirs, the holiest and the scared one is named as Galta Kund. The annual and the most famous event takes place in Makar Sankranti in the month of January when devotees come and take dip in the holy chilled water to clean their sin. These seven tanks are filled with spring water from Gaumukh which is a spring that is in the shape of the cow’s mouth. Galta is the temple of lord Surya i.e. Sun God. The temple was built by Diwan Rao Kriparam and is located on the highest peak of the city from where the view of the pink city is breathtaking.
Due to natural disaster the temple is getting worse and so the government is trying to maintain as well as repair the work of art. The temple is easily accessible by the local busses and auto rickshaws.
