The city of Sawai Madhopur is known worldwide for Ranthambore National Park that has the largest number of tigers in the region. However very less people are aware of the fact that the city also has a number of other attractions that are equally beautiful and are attractive in their own way. Very few people know that the city also has some wonderful temples that have a lot of religious and historic significance.

Kala Gaura Bhairav Temple in Sawai Madhopur is one example of the temples in the city that are known for their uniqueness. Established in the heart of the city by slicing a hillock, Kala Gaura Bhairav Temple in Sawai Madhopur is one of the few temples in the country that practices tantrik kriyas. The uniqueness of this temple lies in the fact that the idols of Bhairav that are generally kept at the entrance in most of the temples across the country are kept inside the temple as the main deity at Kala Gaura Bhairav Temple in Sawai Madhopur. This temple mainly belongs to two Bhairav brothers namely Kala Bhairav and Gaura Bhairav whose idols are kept inside the main area of the temple. Other idols in the temples belong to Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva and goddess Durga. The idol of Lord Ganesha on way to the main temple area is worth seeing.

It is believed that when Alaudin Khilji had attacked Ranthambore, King Hammir had visited the temple and had made a wish to surface victorious in the war. He swore that if he wins the battle, he would devote every thing to the lord. But unfortunately even after winning over, he had to behead himself due to some confusion.
