Govindaji was brought to the city of Amber,near Jaipur, by Maharaja Jai Singh II toprotect the Deity from destruction at thehands of the Muslim emperor about 1728(some say 1735).Maharaja Jai Singh created his "City ofVictory," the city of Jaipur, as a dedication toLord Govindaji. The temple is in a garden ofthe palace complex, and when the templedoors were opened, Maharaja Jai Singh inthe past could see his beloved Deity from theroyal quarters.
