Today is Janmashtami – the birthday of Lord Krishna. Krishna is highly revered in Jaipur. As the city is preparing for Janmasthmi celebrations, let me take you around a few heritage temples and show you ongoing preparations for the Janmashtami celebrations in Jaipur.
The banners announcing the celebrations are everywhere in the walled city.
The scene from Anand Bihari Ji Temple, Chandni Chowk, City Palace complex, Jaipur during the early morning.
Here’s a picture of Brij Nidhi Temple all decked up for Janmashtami celebrations.
The preparations at Sri Ramchandra Temple in Sirehdyodi Bazaar seem to be on a grand scale! It’s quite understandable. Shri Ramchandra Temple is the grandest heritage temple of Lord Krishna in Jaipur. Its architecture style & marble carvings are astounding. It replicates the grandeur of a palace.
Even though Govind Devji temple is the most popular temple in Jaipur, Sri Ramchandra Ji Temple has its own charm and appeal. The office of Devesthan Vibhag is situated in its premises.
Krishna temples in the city are all decked up & ready for the celebrations. When it comes to Janamasthami celebrations, it looks like the people of Jaipur are ready to celebrate it in a grand way!

Thanks for checking it out! Despite the fact that lately Hindu religion has come under reevaluation from modern perspective and some mal practices it embodies, there are wonderful aspects that are yet to be understood. I’m sure there are many things that are yet to be fully understood by modern science -faith and religion! How it was central to human life and society in those times? I’m simply amazed by the workmanship and sheer number of Lord Krishna temples built by rulers over period of years!

Yes, agree with you. I am just happy to be born in India…regardless of what my religion is (Hinduism is the best though because of its rich lineage).
