The city is visited by people throughout the year, but on average, tourists do not stay more than 2-3 days, as the city is a business center for many. In the main task, it is also very important for people to see where they are. And for this the short list of the different places of interest is necessary. The main attractions of the city that can be visited are:

 

Govind dev ji Temple, City Palace, Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, Museums, Jal Mahal, etc.

 

Among these, the Govind dev ji Temple in Jaipur is one of the most famous temples in the city. The entire temple complex is dedicated to Lord Krishna of the Hindus. In the middle of the main temple there is a beautiful and huge statue of Lord Krishna.

 

This image was brought from the holy city of Vrindavan in the 17th century. Then it was built in 1846 AD. when Maharaja Nara Singh ruled the Pink City. Later, the statue was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1868 AD. Later, the Maharaja of Manipur, Maharaja Chandrakriti, rebuilt the Govind dev ji temple in its royal form. The entire structure of the temple is double-celled, with an ambulatory-style 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 visit the temple is during Mangala Arti, which takes place every morning at 5 a.m.

 

An interesting fact about this temple is that devotees who come from different corners of the 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.

 

The image of the 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. This idol is believed to have been worshiped by Kasiswara Pandit. At the altar, the entire plaza is adorned with tiles of exceptional beauty.

 

Each temple offers devotees a sweet meal known as prasad. The Maha Prasad of the temple is available on a stand to the left of the idols. There is a beautiful garden behind the temple.
