History & significance

Commissioned by Queen Kanakwati, wife of Man Singh I of Amer, in memory of their son Jagat Singh who died young. It is one of very few Indian temples where the poet-saint Meera Bai is enshrined beside Krishna.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

The Krishna image here is said to be the one Meera Bai worshipped in Mewar, carried to Amer for safekeeping from Mughal armies.
