Govind Dev Temple

Govind Dev Temple

1590 red sandstone temple built by Raja Man Singh, one of Vrindavan's finest old buildings.

Built in 1590 by Raja Man Singh of Amber, Govind Dev was once considered the tallest temple in India before Aurangzeb ordered its upper floors demolished. The striking red sandstone structure remains one of Vrindavan's most important heritage sites. The presiding deity now resides in Jaipur's City Palace, but the ruins draw history lovers and pilgrims alike.
