Govind Dev Ji Temple, Jaipur (must see)
The Hindu temple Govind Deo Ji is located in the City Palace complex. The temple is dedicated to Govind Deo Ji (Lord Krishna). The image of the deity (murti) was brought from Vrindavan here by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. According to popular legend, Lord Krishna's image in the temple looks exactly like Krishna's form during his incarnation on Earth. For Vaishnavites, particularly followers of Lord Krishna, this is one of the most important temples outside Vrindavan. Thousands of devotees visit the temple daily and even larger number visit during Janmashtami.
