Govind Dev Ji Temple, Hindu temple in City Palace, Jaipur, India.

Govind Dev Ji is a Hindu temple in the City Palace complex of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, dedicated to Radha and Krishna. It stands within the Jay Niwas Bagh garden and has no shikhara. The sanctuary is built of red sandstone and marble, and the front shown here is a long pavilion of carved stone with cusped arches outlined in white and filled with red and orange patterns, above a band of cream and pink painted panels.

Raja Sawai Jai Singh II brought the deity from Vrindavan to Jaipur in the 18th century and founded the temple at the heart of the newly built City Palace. The relocation occurred to protect the sacred image during political turmoil in northern India.

Govind Dev Ji is treated as the sovereign of Jaipur: at a new maharaja's coronation he bows first to the deity, and the Kachhwaha rulers cast themselves as the god's chief ministers. Seven aartis and bhog offerings are held daily, each with different dress and adornment for the deities. Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Gopashtami and Holi draw the largest crowds.

The temple stands inside the Jai Niwas Garden within the City Palace complex, and its main entrance faces east, so morning light falls on the doorway. Seven darshan viewings are held each day, and the deity is dressed differently for each. The Satsang Hall, a pillarless concrete hall of 15,800 square feet, seats 5,000 devotees.

The temple's Satsang Hall holds the Guinness World Record, recognised in 2009, as the world's widest concrete building: a pillarless reinforced-concrete roof spanning 119 feet, covering 15,800 square feet and seating 5,000 devotees. Jaipur firm N M Roof Designers used a waffle-slab grid of deep ribs to carry the single span.
