For anyone who loves to explore things out of the box about then Om Banna Dham is the place to be at. This one is not any ordinary temple but is one of the most peculiar places to visit in Pali Rajasthan.

That is because on entering the temple you will not find any idol of a deity or any god’s statue but a Royal Enfield bike. And what’s more enticing is that every day a horde of devotees gather to offer prayers to the bike. This motorbike is encased within a glass showcase and the shrine has a photo of an ordinary man.

Legend has it that the man (bullet baba) in the picture is Om (Singh Rathore) Banna. He rode from Bangdi to Pali’s Chotila Village and it is here where he lost control, hit a tree, and died. Later many unusual events took place where his bike placed at the police station was found missing and later was found in the same accident spot, the next day. Thus it is believed that his soul protects the people from accidents in the Pali-highway’s accident-prone area, even now.

Pali Travel Guides

Simply no words to describe the beauty of this place. The rooms were beyond our expectations, and Raju, the host, ensured that we had everything we needed on our stay.
I brought my office team here for our yearly corporate outing and everyone just loved the experience. Even though we were a large group of 18, they handled the booking pretty well, and saved me all of the trouble. The place itself was beautiful, with a nice lake just around the corner, and our caretaker, Mano, was such a helpful guy! I recommend the morning jeep safari, as you get better views than you would in the evening!
Stayed here on a two days one-night package deal and cannot stop writing this review. Our balcony had a clear view of the Jawai lake and it was one memorable stay in Rajasthan. Would rate more than full.
We skipped the mundane and decided to stay here. This boutique resort was very tempting also because of its location which faces the Jawai lake. Good stay!
Staying here on our trip to Sena was a nice experience. The rooms were nice and meals were included in the package. But the best part was the awesome views of the lake from the verandah. We were five of us on the trip and it proved to be very cost effective booking withThrillophilia.
Trust me when I say that this is one of the best places I have visited in my life. Everything about this place screams of luxury and comfort, and the views are incredible. We especially loved our jeep safari adventure and the delicious three meals that were provided as a part of the package.
