History & significance

Jaipur's principal Krishna temple, set in the City Palace complex around images that Sawai Jai Singh II brought from Vrindavan. It is also where Baladeva Vidyabhushana composed the Govinda Bhashya, a foundational Gaudiya Vaishnava commentary.

Sthala katha — the legend

The image is said to have been made by Bajranabh, Krishna's great-grandson, as one of three portraying his feet, chest and face.
