Govindji Ka Mandir is a beautiful temple nestled in the heart of the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Govind means protector of cows, another name for Krishna who is darling God of many all over the world. This temple was built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II , He built this temple in such a way so that he can see the Lord from his palace. Sawai Jai Singh got the image of Govindji from Brindavan.
It is believed that this deity resembles exactly like the Lord Krishna when he was at birth and this image was created by Krishna's great grand son known as Bajranabh. The idol is small and decorated well.
This temple is visited by thousands of pilgrims everyday and worship is offered in the form of Aarti and Bhog 7 times a day.The Bhog is distributed among the devotees.
(I am back,was away from blogging due to personal commitments. Hope and pray I will be active as I was in the past. I missed all my blogger friends, shall be visiting all of you soon).
Wish all dear friends a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

Chitra madam please look into my Third Seminar on Indian Heritage and Culture post and share your valuable and inspirational comment.
Chitra madam in your collection did you have any picture postcards, postcards albums, souvenirs, paintings etc. on temples etc. Madam why i am asking because during your travels i hope you bought some picture postcards and other material at temples.

One of my favorite temples, can never miss visiting it when in Jaipur. Here's the link to my post I had written long back: Govind Devji Temple
I miss you and your wonderful temple posts... so glad to have you back - Happy New Year to you and your family. :)
So glad to see you posting again. Love this temple.
How did I manage to miss this? Wondering where you had got to given your absence both here and on FB, may I now wish you and yours a belated happy new year.
