History & About

Govind Dev Ji Temple, located in Vrindavan, Mathura district, is one of the most revered temples dedicated to Lord Krishna in his form as Govind Dev Ji. Built around 1590 by Raja Man Singh of Amber during the Mughal era, the temple originally had seven storeys, reflecting the spiritual richness of Braj Bhoomi. Over time, only three storeys remain, yet the temple retains its architectural beauty and devotional charm. Today, it continues to welcome pilgrims and visitors seeking spiritual experiences, cultural insight, and a glimpse into the region’s historical heritage.

The temple was built in 1590 during the reign of Emperor Akbar by Raja Man Singh of Amber. Tradition connects Shri Govind Dev Ji with Srila Rupa Goswami, who revealed the deity in Vrindavan. The original seven-storeyed temple was later damaged during Aurangzeb’s period, and the main deity was moved from Vrindavan for protection, eventually reaching Jaipur.

Hare krishana... I didnt expect such a huge temple complex in Vrindavan like Govind dev ji temple! Such a gigantic temple is fully constructed by red sandstone. The architecture is amazing and i dont have any words to explain how much beautiful it is! I was visited at summr time and obviously the temperature was so high. So the best time is winter season to visit here. Outside was so hot, when i enter inside the temple i felt very cool like enter into an airconditioned room. But there is nothing inside, only the effect of the stones. When i enter the room i felt looked on in amazement because of the high raised ceiling, giant pillars and a vast area. There is an atractive lotus carving on the ceiling. It was built in 1590 AD by Raja Man Singh of Amer. Originally a magnificent seven-story red sandstone structure blending Hindu, Western, and Islamic architecture, it was partially destroyed by Emperor Aurangzeb in 1670, leaving it with three stories. This giant temple is Dedicated to Lord Krishna (Govind Dev) and Radha. The original idol was moved to Jaipur for safekeeping, but worship continues at the sacred Vrindavan site. The timing for darshan is daily from morning 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Entry is Free for all visitors. Nearest railway station is Mathura Junction. Yamuna river is nearby this temple. Another intresting thing is lot of torists are unaware about this temple and there was no crowd compare to other temples i have visited in Vrindavan. If you planning to visit Vrindavan dont miss this marvelous creation!

The Govind Dev Ji Temple is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Built with red sandstone, the structure feels incredibly majestic and has a very unique historical vibe. 😊❤️ The atmosphere inside is filled with serenity and deep spiritual energy. It is less crowded than other main temples, making it a perfect spot for those who want to sit quietly and feel the divine presence. The height and design of the ceilings are truly breath-taking. A must-visit place to experience the heritage of Vrindavan!
