Govind Devji Temple at Jaipur
The royal temple
dedicated to Lord Krishna, Govind Deo Ji temple is situated in the City
Palace complex. Well preserved by the erstwhile royal family, the image
of the chief deity Govind Deo Ji (Lord Krishna) is said to have been brought
from Vrindavan and was installed here by Raja
Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur. Since then, he has been worshipped
as the patron deity of the royal family and occupies the sanctum of this spire
less temple. 'Aartis' and 'Bhog' are offered
to the deity seven times a day, when the idol is unveiled for the benefit
of the devotees who come here to pay their homage to the deities. 'Bhog' mostly
consists of sweets and is offered in the huge silver wares. Each time, the
idols of Lord Krishna and his eternal beloved Radha are unveiled, they are
dressed in different styles for the benefit of the devotees who come here
to have a glimpse or 'Darshan' of the deities.
