The city of Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Jai Singh II to protect Sri Sri Radha Govinda, the beloved Deities of Srila Rupa Gosvami, from foreign invaders. From that time on, down to the present day, Radha Govinda has been worshiped with great love and devotion by the citizens of Jaipur. The Pink City, as it is also known, is home to other Vrindavan Deities as well, namely; Radha Gopinath, Radha Damodar and Radha Vinode.
Govindaji! is the beloved deity of Srila Rupa Goswami, who discovered the Lord 500 years ago in Sri Vrindavan dhama. After sometime Govindaji was moved to the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, where He is worshiped with great love and devotion till this very day. Each morning and evening thousands of people visit Govindaji and His consort Srimati Radharani.
Beautiful deity of Gopinath was discovered at Vamsivat in Vrindavan 500 years ago by Madhu Pandit and Paramananda Bhattacarya. Madhu Pandit served Gopinath with great love and devotion for many years. Centuries later Gopinath was moved to Jaipur where He has been worshipped along with Srimati Radharani ever since. The temple is popular with the people of Jaipur, who come together daily to chant Radha Gopinath’s glories.
Jaipur, know as the Pink City, is rich in the culture and history of India. For devotees, the outstanding features are the deities of Radha Govinda, Radha Damodar, Radha Gopinath and Radha Vinode, all of whom are central to our Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition!
