A temple tour in Jaipur can never be considered complete without a visit to the Govind Dev Ji Temple. Dedicated to Lord Krishna, the Govind Dev Ji Temple is housed in the City Palace complex of Jaipur and is a must visit attraction for devotees and tourists alike.
The Govind Dev Ji Temple is the place where visitors can find enshrined an image of Lord Krishna. It is believed that this idol was brought all the way from Vrindavan and installed in Jaipur by the celebrated king, Sawai Jai Singh. Ever since, the royal family has worshiped Lord Krishna as its patron deity.
The Govind Dev Ji Temple was built in 1890 with the donation money received from Raja Man Singh. The temple is wonderfully placed between the Chandra Mahal and Badal Mahal in the City Palace complex . The temple complex becomes a hive of activity during Janmastami, a festival that commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna.
The Govind Dev Ji Temple follows a very unique ritual that involves dressing up the idols of Lord Krishna and Radha seven times a day. The attires are different from one another and whenever a costume is changed, aarti and bhog ceremonies take place at the temple.
