Govind Devji — one of the 7 Thākurjī idols established in Vṛndāvana by the 6 Gosvāmīs of the Gauḍīya tradition (disciples of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu). In 1669, to protect the idol from Aurangzeb, King Ram Singh of Amer moved it to Jaipur; the idol was installed in the City Palace complex where it remains the iṣṭadev of the Jaipur royal family. Seven darshans daily. The emperors of Mewar, Jaipur, and Jodhpur all paid tribute to Govind Devji. The Janmāṣṭamī celebration at Govind Dev is the largest in Rajasthan.
