Hindu temples in Rajasthan include pilgrimage centres, royal temples, goddess shrines and protected archaeological monuments. Pushkar is associated with a sacred lake and the Brahma Temple, one of the town's principal places of worship. Nathdwara developed around the seventeenth-century Vaishnava shrine of Shrinathji, while Eklingji and Shrinathji are among the principal pilgrimage sites associated with the Mewar region. Other widely visited shrines include the Khatu Shyam Temple in Sikar district, the Karni Mata Temple at Deshnoke, and the Salasar Balaji Temple in Churu district.

The following list includes notable Hindu temples and temple complexes located in Rajasthan.
The temples also represent different periods of Rajasthan's architectural history. The surviving Harshat Mata Temple at Abhaneri presently houses an image of the goddess Harshat Mata, although its architectural programme indicates that the original sanctuary was dedicated to Vishnu. The medieval Kiradu temples comprise both Vaishnava and Shaiva shrines, with the Someshvara temple forming the best-preserved part of the group. At Nagda, the tenth-century Sahasra Bahu Temples are associated with Vishnu and are protected as historic monuments. Collectively, the listed sites range from active pilgrimage centres to temple ruins preserved for their historical, architectural and archaeological significance.
