The history of Moti Dungri Temple is 400 years old. It is believed that in the 17th century, when the king of Mewar was returning home, he was carrying the idol of Lord Ganesha on a bullock cart. He announced that wherever the bullock cart stops first, he himself will build a grand temple of Lord Ganesha. The bullock cart stopped at the foot of Moti Dungri and this place became the location of the temple. The responsibility of building the temple was entrusted to Seth Jai Ram Paliwal and Mahant Shiv Narayan, who built this temple in four years and it is worth mentioning that it was completed in the year 1761.
A palace-like complex was built at that place for the son of Maharaja Madho Singh (Raja Madho Singh) and a temple was built inside it. The surrounding palace is not open to visitors as it is a private property but the temple is open to all. This temple is named Moti Dungri because it is built under the Moti Dungri hill.
