Why to visit Govind Devji Temple

The red sandstone temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and is located in his childhood home. Vrindavan is a twin town to Mathura, where Sri Krishna was born, and is located near Gokul, where he is thought to have spent his early years.

 

The Govind Devji Temple is one of the holiest shrines in the area, nestled among the many other sanctuaries dedicated to the Lord. The original idol of Lord Krishna no longer exists in the temple, however it is said that the Lord Krishna idol in Govind Devji Temple resembled the Lord's visage when he was born.

For Hindu pilgrims, the majestic temple is a wonder because it allows them to see the purity of the site where the Lord was originally said to have dwelt and performed all of his miracles. The Govind Devji Temple is one of four temples of particular interest inside the boundary of Vrindavan town, according to James Hastings in Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics.
