The Govind Dev Ji Temple is a significant Hindu temple dedicated to Radha and Krishna, located within the City Palace complex, in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The temple was established in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, who brought the deities from Vrindavan. The Govind Dev icon is counted among the seven principal Goswami deities of Vrindavan and is associated in tradition with Rupa Goswami, one of the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan. The idol of Govind Dev Ji is traditionally believed to have been created by Bajranabh, the great-grandson of Krishna. According to legend, Bajranabh created three images of Krishna: one representing his feet, one his chest, and one his face. The first image is known as Lord Madan Mohan Ji, the second image is called Gopinath Ji, and the third image is popular with the name of Govind Dev Ji. The icons were rediscovered by Rupa Goswami. A farman of Emperor Akbar dated 6 October 1568 formally recognised Jiva Goswami as manager (adhikar) of the Govind Dev and Madan Mohan temples, indicating that both had come under a single Chaitanya-sect administration by that date. The temple is historically significant as the site where Baladeva Vidyabhushana, an important philosopher of the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition, composed the Govinda Bhashya, a commentary on the Brahma Sutras, after receiving guidance in a dream from the deity Govind Dev Ji. The idols were originally enshrined at a palatial 7-storeyed temple in Vrindavan, constructed by Mansingh I of Amber, with red sandstone being donated by the Mughal Emperor Akbar & consecrated by Jiva Goswami in 1570.
