The city of Alwar that is renowned the world over for being home to the famous Sariska National Park also attracts visitors to its century old temples. In fact, most of the temples in Alwar are ideally situated within the large area of the national park and are largely visited by tourists en route to Sariska. These ancient temples of Alwar are historically significant and speak of rather fascinating legends.

The most famous and widely visited among all the temples in Alwar is the Hanuman Temple that lies about 11 km from the entrance of Sariska National Park. The temple houses a striking giant idol of Lord Hanuman in a reclined position and dates back to the Mahabharata days. Nearly hundreds of monkeys and langoors can be seen running all over the place near Hanuman Temple (they are usually harmless unless provoked).

Another famous temple in Alwar is the Bhartrihari Temple that is also located in the vicinity of Sariska wildlife sanctuary. Thousands of devotees across the country throng at the temple to receive the divine healing touch of Bhartrihari Baba who is believed to fulfill all unmet desires. The ancient ruins of Neelkanth Temples that date back to as early as 6th century are also worth a visit in Alwar. Particularly striking is the temple of Lord Shiva here.
