Ranthambore Trinetra Ganesh Temple Entry Restricted Until April 24 Due To Tigress Movement

Due to the movement of a tigress, the restriction on entry for devotees visiting the Trinetra Ganesh Temple in the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve (RTR) has been extended until April 24.

The entry was initially restricted after a tragic incident on April 16, when a female cub of tigress Arrowhead attacked and killed a seven-year-old girl, Kartik Suman, on the road leading to the Trinetra Ganesh Temple.

Following the incident, Ranthambore’s Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF) Anup K. R. had closed the temple road for five days as a precautionary measure. However, according to RTR officials, tigress T-107, also known as Sultana, has recently given birth to cubs in a cave near this road and has been frequently spotted moving along the route to the temple.

Considering this development, CCF Anup K. R. has extended the restriction on entry along this route until April 24.

Notably, the tourist season in Ranthambore is currently at its peak, as summer makes tiger sightings more common. The reserve is divided into 10 zones, and tiger safaris operate in two daily shifts.

Although the Trinetra Ganesh Temple is not part of the safari zones, it is located within the RTR and remains a major attraction for both tourists and devotees. The temple is unique, as it houses the only known idol of Lord Ganesha with three eyes. Hundreds of devotees visit it every day.
