Badrinath Temple in Amer is a great place to soak in the views of Amer Fort and the town. Here is an expansive view of Amer town from Badrinath temple, Amer.
The temple is managed by the society of Aadi Gaur Brahmin Moortikar Kalakaar Sanstha (stone sculptor society located in Khazane Walo Ka Rasta, Chandpole Bazar, Jaipur). Although not much information is available, it is being claimed that the original version of this temple dates back to the 10-11th century. 
The main shrine is quite small, however, the temple complex is quite big.
The paintings inside the temple are very old and given the current condition, they are in urgent need of attention and repair. These paintings depict Hindu mythological stories and various Hindu deities.
Although the overall upkeep of the temple premises is very good, the condition of the paintings is self-explanatory in these pictures.
The dome part of the ceiling is beautifully painted in a floral pattern.
Inscribed on a marble slab in the courtyard one can find the history of Badrinath temple Amer. Here is a picture of the same.
The access to this temple is through an inclined pathway made out of cobbled stones. This pathway ends at the entrance of this temple premises.
Since this temple is managed by the society of Moortikar Brahman Samaj, it is not frequented by locals; followers of a specific Brahmin community visit the temple since it is a community temple.
If you are visiting Amer town and have spare time at your disposal, you can visit Badrinath temple for beautiful paintings inside the shrine and lovely views of Amer Palace as well as Amer Town. Don’t expect much, though, else you’ll be disappointed! Badrinath temple is an offbeat attraction in Amer.

Looking at sheer no of heritage sites we have in the city (and elsewhere in Rajasthan).. it really needs lot of funds and organized efforts by the agencies to restore them. The Amer town near Jaipur city, which dates back to 9-10th century has many buildings already in dilapidated conditions….more on that soon!
