Religious Significance
According to the legend, the Image of Lord Govind Devji was also called "Bajrakrit"- indicating thereby that it was created by Bajranabh – The Great Grand Son of Lord Krishna. Some 5,000 years back when Shri Bajranabh was around 13 years old, he asked his Grand Mother (daughter-in-law of Lord Krishna) as to how Lord Shri Krishna looked like; Then He made an image as per the description given by her. She however, said that not all but the feet of that image looked like those of Lord Shri Krishna. He made another image, yet she said that the Chest looked like that of Lord Shri Krishna. Thereafter, He made the Third Image and looking at the same she veiled her face as a show of modesty, and remarked that the face of the deity was exactly like that of Lord Sri Krishna. The first one came to be known as "Madan Mohanji". The second one was called as Lord "Gopinathji" and the Third One, the likeness of Krishna is Lord "Govind Devji". With passing of ages the glories of the Indian Culture were being forgotten and the sands of time kept piling up. Together with every other thing these pious divine images were also lost from the memories of people. Some 500 years ago, legend has it that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu asked one of his disciples to excavate the idol of Govinda, which had been buried there to protect it from the marauders.
Govind devji temple has high vibrating living spiritual atmosphere which enliven the heart's of devotees with Lord Krishna's loving spiritual energy emptying them from effects of materialism taking the soul in higher realms of peace. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Ji wanted to explore the holy place which is mentioned in Bhagvat Purana that were related to Shri Krishna Ji Maharaj.
History
With passing of ages the idols of Lord Krishna which was built by Bajranabh were lost from the memories of people and get buried under the sand of time. Later on, 500 year ago Chaitanya Mahaprabu devotee of Lord Krishna took initiative to find out the holy places related to Lord Krishna and for this he send his two followers Roop and Sanatan Goswami to vrindavan to find the places related to Lord Krishna. When the Muslim emperor Aurangzeb tried to destroy in 1670, then Govind Dev Ji was taken from Vrindavan to Jaipur and now the original deity is in Jaipur. The temple was built in 1590 by Raja Mansingh-I. In 1873 Emperor Akbar and Maharaja of Amer King contributed this temple.
