Overview

Govind Ji Temple is the most prominent and sacred place of worship in Jaipur, Rajasthan and also the most significant one as far as the history of Rajasthani rulers go. The temple is dedicated to Lord Govind Dev Ji, who is one of the forms of Lord Krishna’s incarnations on Earth and is considered as the principal deity of the Kachwaha Dynasty of rulers of Amber/Amer.

It is believed that the idol of Govind Ji looks exactly like Lord Krishna did.
