If only sculpture and architecture can speak, they will tell the glory and craftsmanship of the artist who made this temple.A 16th-century temple, one of the oldest ones, built by amber king Raja man Singh originally seven stories.And established the worship of Govind dev the Vigrah nearly 4-5 thousand years old made by the Vrijbhan grandson of Krishna himself.During the auranzeb attack, Vigrah shifted to Govidnddev temple Jaipur and the 4 stories were destroyed the Muslim King

The original temple of Govind Devji, built by Man Singh I of Amber, in 1590 AD. The idol is now at Mandir Shri Govind Devji, Jaipur. It is an ASI protected monument, and entry is free.Hewn out of red sandstone, the edifice is a beautiful example of Hindu temple architecture. It is articulated as a three storey high structure on the outside while the interiors are triple-heighted and grand.Observation: A similar workmanship is observed in the contemporary Mughal monuments of Fatehpur Sikri.

🌹 Every temple in Vrindavan gives you a unique experience. Therefore, all the holy shrines in Vrindavan gather a good number of crowds throughout the year.Climatic Panorama:Located around 142Kms away from the capital city Delhi, the climate of Vrindavan passes through a blend of warm, wet and wintry ambience throughout the year. Summers hits the Braj region in the month of March, which lasts here till the month of May. During summer, the temperature of Vrindavan ranges between 20°C to 44°C. Moving ahead in July, the place experiences a soothing wet climate due to monsoon, which lasts here till September. After a drenched monsoon, winter touches the land of Lord Krishna in the month of October that lasts till February. During winter, visitors enjoy a pleasant weather in Vrindavan when the temperature ranges between 9°C to 30°C.As the name suggests, this is a holy shrine of Lord Krishna. Devotees flock this temple seeking blessings of Govind Dev. It is said that the idol of Govind Dev or Lord Krishna was brought to this temple by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who was the Rajput king of Jaipur. Devotees visit this temple since early morning to witness the holy Mangla Aarti that starts at 4.30AM. Additionally, various types of Aartis and other rituals are also performed here throughout the day.

This is the real temple of Shri Govind Dev Ji constructed about 450 years back. The temple was destroyed by Mughal empror Aurangzeb later. its said that the four out of seven floors and the main garbh grah were demolished then. The main statue of Shri Govind Dev Ji then shifted to Jaipur and a new temple constructed in front of City Palace.

Govind Devji temple at Vrindavan was built by Raja Mansingh I 1590. Temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna. Red sand stones were used to build this temple and is known for finer architectural details. Originally this temple had 7 floors. Later top 4 floors were destroyed by Muslim King Aurangazeb when he came to power. We see now the remaining 3 floors. Fearing Aurangazeb, the main deity was removed and sent to Jaipur. The place is worth visiting.

Review №33

This temple is situated in govind ghera area of vrindavan dham. This temple once secured the oldest vigrah of shri krishna in the form of govind dev ji (this vigrah was worshipped by the great grandson of shree krishna) which is now worshipped in jaipur. This temple tells us the story of harassment, molestation, suppression and oppression of hindus by then ruler Aurangzeb. This temple was destroyed to a great extent but still most of its infrastructure is intact to tell us the story of that bloody saga of a mad king and his ambition to end hinduism from hidustan. This temple has an amazing style of architecture, there many small and big idols present in the temple which were carved out from large granite stones by the skilled craftsmen without the usage of modern machines. Many of these idols dont have body parts because of those mughal miscreants. Pay a visit to this temple whenever you are on a tour of vrindavan.

The Vaishnava temple Govind Dev Ji is situated in Jaipur district in Rajasthan state of India. It is located in the City Palace complex. Murti is easily visible from City Palace. The temple is dedicated to Govind Dev Ji (Lord Krishna).This temple is among the 7 temples of Thakur of Vrindavan including Sri Radhavallabh ji, Shri Bankey Bihari Ji, Shri Govind Dev Ji and four others. The image of the deity (murti) was brought from Vrindavanhere by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. According to popular legend, Lord Krishnas image in the temple looks exactly like Krishnas form during his incarnation on Earth.The deity originally belonged to Srila Rupa Goswami who was a disciple of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.Govind devji here resides as Yugal Sarkar (divine couple) giving yugal darshan with Radha Rani adorned next to Govindji. Lalita and Vishakha sakhi offers tambul (betelnut) and ittar (perfume) Seva to celestial divine couple.According to the legend, the Image of Lord Govind Devji was also called Bajrakrit- indicating thereby that it was created by Bajranabh – The Great Grand Son of Lord Krishna. Some 5,000 years back when Shri Bajranabh was around 13 years old, he asked his Grand Mother (daughter-in-law of Lord Krishna) as to how Lord Shri Krishna looked like; Then He made an image as per the description given by her. She however, said that not all but the feet of that image looked like those of Lord Shri Krishna. He made another image, yet she said that the Chest looked like that of Lord Shri Krishna. Thereafter, He made the Third Image and looking at the same she veiled her face as a show of modesty, and remarked that the face of the deity was exactly like that of Lord Sri Krishna.The first one came to be known as Madan Mohanji. The second one was called as Lord Gopinathji and the Third One, the likeness of Krishna is LORD Govind Devji. With passing of ages the glories of the Indian Culture were being forgotten and the sands of time kept piling up. Together with every other thing these pious divine images were also lost from the memories of people. Some 500 years ago, legend has it that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu asked one of his disciples to excavate the idol of Govinda, which had been buried there to protect it from the Mughal marauders.Govind devji temple has high vibrating living spiritual atmosphere which enliven the hearts of devotees with Lord Krishnas loving spiritual energy emptying them from effects of materialism taking the soul in higher realms of peace.For Vaishnavites, particularly followers of Lord Krishna, this is one of the most important temples outside Vrindavan.Aartis and Bhog are offered seven times a day, when the deity is unveiled for Darshan. Thousands of devotees visit the temple daily and an even larger number visit during Janmashtami.

The present name of this temple is Śrī Govindadeva, and its ancient name was Gomā-ṭīlā. On the order of Śrīman Mahāprabhu, Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī wanted to manifest the deity of Śrī Govinda that had previously been installed by Śrī Vajranābha.One day, during his parikramā of Vṛndāvana, he became very restless thinking about the deity of Śrī Govinda. He sat under a tree on the bank of the Yamunā and wept, yearning for His darśana. At that time, a beautiful Vrajavāsī boy who was also doing parikramā walked past. He saw Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī weeping under the tree, and asked him why he was crying. At first, Rūpa Gosvāmī said nothing, but when the boy persisted, he revealed to Him the pain in his heart. The Vrajavāsī boy brought Rūpa Gosvāmī to Gomā-ṭīlā and said, “Please listen. Every day, just before noon, one cow comes to this mound, and irrigates this place with the milk from her udder. I think that your desire will be fulfilled here.” Saying this, the boy immediately disappeared.Thinking of the beauty and sweet words of the boy, Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī fainted. Upon regaining consciousness, he called the neighbouring Vrajavāsīs, who very carefully dug up the earth at that place. There, a little under the ground, was Śrī Govindajī, more beautiful than millions of cupids. They bathed the deity with great ceremony. News of this spread quickly, and crowds of people gathered to take darśana of Śrī Govindajī.Śrī Govindadeva is Vṛndāvaneśvara – the Lord (īśvara) of Śrī Vṛndāvana. In the Skanda, Padma, Varāha and other Purāṇas, He is said to be Vṛndāvana’s rāja-rājeśvara, King of kings. Śrī Govindadeva is thus the worshipful deity of Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Ādi-līlā 8.50–states:“At the mahā-yogapīṭha in Vṛndāvana, beneath a desire tree is a golden throne bedecked with jewels. On that throne Vrajendra-nandana, Śrī Govindadeva, the transcendental Cupid, is seated.”Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Ādi-līlā1.16) also says:“I meditate upon Śrī Rādhā-Govindadeva, who are seated beneath a desire tree on an effulgent bejewelled throne in the supremely beautiful land of Vṛndāvana. There, They are always being served by Their beloved sakhīs, especially by Lalitā and Viśākhā.”There are many famous statements regarding Śrī Govinda in different scriptures.”Before Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī’s arrival in Śrī Dhāma Vṛndāvana, it was unheard of to place a deity of Śrīmatī Rādhikā beside a deity of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. It so happened that a deity of Śrī Rādhikā, who was present in the temple of Jagannātha in Purī-dhāma at a place named Cakrabeḍa, was being worshipped by everyone as Lakṣmījī. Śrīmatī Rādhikā instructed the father of Mahārāja Pratāparudra, Puruṣottama Jānā, in a dream: “I am not Lakṣmī; I am Rādhā, the beloved of Vrajendra-nandana Śrī Kṛṣṇa. I am waiting for the manifestation of Śrī Govindadeva in Vṛndāvana. When He appears please send Me to Him with great care.” This deity, along with other deities of Śrīmatī Rādhikā, was later sent to Vṛndāvana with Śrī Jāhnavā Ṭhākurānī, and the contemporary gosvāmīs placed this deity of Śrī Rādhā to the left of Śrī Govindadeva. After being united with Śrīmatī Rādhikā, Śrī Govinda became famous by the name of Śrī Rādhā-Govinda.In 1670 AD, the tyrannical Mughal emperor Aurangzeb demolished this temple, destroying the top four floors. Before the temples of Vṛndāvana were destroyed, Śrī Govindajī and other worshipful deities of the Gauḍīyas were sent to Jaipura. The ancient and original Govindadeva along with His beloved Rādhikā now reside in a temple near the royal palace in Jaipura.Excerpt from the book Sri Vraja-mandal Parikrama by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja

An historical temple of Lord Shri Krishna named Govind Dev ji constructed by Raja Mansingh of Jaipur. It is said that this temple was so high that it could be seen from many kilometers away.

The structure of temple that we see today remained unaffected and there we can see Thakur Govind Dev ji and can take his blessings.

Things are not so good as we thought about Vrindavan. We went there and it is a crowdy and unhygienic place. A lot of disturbance by moneys (which is still okie). The guide took us inside the temple and the pandit is explaining that today is a great day and you have to contribute Rs. 1,290 for food for widows and other old age people, to which we get receipt. This was unexpected although I am not against of any donation. So, pls take a bit more care while you go and be prepared for monkeys to snatch your mobile phone and valuables. Take a bit more care than expected.

Radha Govind Dev ji in Jaipur was originally based in this temple. During the attack of Mughal King Aurangzeb the main deity of Krishna was taken to Jaipur where he is being worshipped. The temple in Govind Dev ji was not known to Mughals but as the story goes that a King and also a devotee of Lord Krishna used to offer a huge Diya with more than 100 kgs of Ghee and the diya was lit on temple top. One day while roaming on his terrace Aurangzeb saw a light coming from far off distance. He asked his minister to enquire and when they found that this was the temple of Govind Dev ji, he decided to demolish the same and hence the main deity of Krishna was taken to Jaipur.Inside the temple It is dark and only in the Sanctorum there is electricity. Because of Darkness it is also called as Bhooto ka Mandir or the temple of the Ghosts. Currently the Deities inside is of Lord Jagannath, Radha Krishna and Gaur Nitai. There are lot of monkeys inside hence one should take care of their belongings. The architecture is marvellous and eye catching. Rangji Temple is also close by and the area is quiet busy always. So whenever in Vrindavan, please have darshan of this divine and unique temple. Jai Shri Radha Govind Dev ji
