passage that winds around the hall of the chamber. There are 3 steps that lead
believers to the east, north, and south sides of the temple. The best time to

a.m.

world and with different backgrounds are only allowed to see the holy statue 7
times a day, which is specific. Due to this temple rule, the temple scene looks
unique and amazing during peak hours. The temple is located exactly opposite
the Chandra Mahal in the complex.
Govinda is one
of the four idols of the mandala guard dog of Braja in Vrindavan. The temple is
located right next to the famous Jaipur City Palace and within the deepest
walls of the old city.

deities can be described as a beautiful black marble deity, namely Lord Govinda
and Radha. There is also a little goddess, Lord Krishna, named Gaura-Govinda.

offers devotees a sweet meal known as prasad. The Maha Prasad of the temple is
