Ancient Temple at Vrindavan - c1870's, Jaipur, India, Shri Govind Dev
Temple was built in 1590 AD by Raja Man Singh of Jaipur, a general in Akbar’s
Army. The temple is a perfect exhibit of medieval India’s architectural
excellence.
Built in the form of a Greek cross, the temple was originally
seven-storey high, a huge portion of which was destroyed during Aurangzeb’s
rule.
Govind Dev (Govindaji) Temple was once a magnificent seven strayed
structure built in the form of a Greek cross. It is said that the Emperor Akbar
donated some of the red sandstone that had been brought for the Red Fort at
Agra, for the construction of this temple. Built at the astronomical cost of
one corer rupees in 1590 by his general Raja Man Singh, the temple combines
western, Hindu and Muslim architectural elements in its structure. It was
destroyed by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
