The Galta Temple or Monkey Temple is one of the interesting places in Jaipur. This is a whole temple complex located between two rocks with a sacred pool and a large family of nimble monkeys. On the territory of the temple, you need to be careful not to become victims of the theft of these tailed scammers, who do not hesitate to drag everything that lies badly. In addition, the monkeys here are somehow dirty and you don’t even want to feed them. Yes, and in the sacred pool you don’t want to swim - because the water there is cloudy green and of an incomprehensible composition. You don’t want to take off your shoes to enter the temple either, but if you still risk it, keep in mind that a local monk will stick to you there and drag you into a dark windowless room with a small door to put a red dot on your forehead and wrap your wrist with red thread, reading prayers.
Then he will closely monitor how much money you give him for his "work", and if it seems to him a little (and it will certainly be so), he will insistently demand more, seeing you off with an unkind look, desperately shouting something after. In general, this is a very nice place with Indian flavor).
