Everything about this temple is so historic that one can't remain getting influenced by divinity and great structural design of the temple. The exquisite design of the temple of white marble and beautiful sculpture can leave one completely amazed. It is extremely beautiful. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna as Shrinath ji and the black diety is very beautiful and adorable in look. The current seva and temple management is done by a family who stays in the temple premise only. Few important things to note about the temple are :
#The temple follows the timing oft Shrinath Ji of Nath Dwara hence the Darshan timings are as follows :
Morning 6 Am-6.30 Am with afternoon darshan closing at 3 pm. The last darshan is between 4.30-6 Pm post that the temple closes.
#The temple is just next to Jagdish ji temple on Jagdish Chowk near city Palace main entrance in Udaipur. It is about 6-7 kms aways from the railway station
#Just behind the temple there are stairs going up which one can follow ti reach on the terrace top and have entire view of the temple design and architecture and the view of Pichola lake and Udaipur city.please don't miss this. You can ask the Pujari about the way up stairs.
#The temple is very old abour close to 400 years, hence one can get that traditional old look and charm in the temple.
#It's not a bad idea to donate something for Krishna here as the temple is not ib a very great shape and the Pujari runs the temple only with what he gets from devotees.
I am very sure after visiting the temple one will leave with great memories and divine blessings of Lord Shrinath ji. Hope you would have found the information useful please encourage with your likes if you found this useful. Thank you

I request all hindus visiting Jaipur must visit this temple.

Jagat Shiromani Temple - Krishna installed in this temple is believed to be the same statue that Meera Bai used to worship in her life when she was in Mewar, which is about 600 years back.

Jagat Shiromani Temple in Amer is one of the popular temples of Rajasthan and the temple is basically visited more by the devotees of Lord Krishna.

The temple is one of the most popular tourist’s attractions of Amer and also one of the religious places to visit in Rajasthan. But when I visited there was no one in the temple except me and a female priest.

The temple was built by Queen Kankawati who was the queen of Raja Man Singh I and the temple was built in memory her son- Jagat Singh.

The architecture of this temple is beautiful and believed to be constructed between the years 1599-1608 AD.

The temple belongs to Lord Krishna and his very renowned devotee Meera Bai. More and people from all over the country visit this temple during the most joyful occasion of Janmashtami and is also a sacred place of the Vaishnavites.

This temple is located near the Amer Fort and the temple notable fort is beautiful architecture and the temple has two main entrances. The main entrance gate can be seen from the main road of the city of Amer and the second gate is linked from the stairs of the palace of Amer and it reaches the open courtyard of the temple.

The history of Jagat Shiromani

There are many interesting stories are about this temple and according to them the idol of Lord Krishna installed in this temple is believed to be the same statue that Meera Bai used to worship in her life when she was in Mewar, which is about 600 years back.

This statue was saved from rulers of Amer during the Mughal war with Mewar state who wanted to destroy the idol but it was brought safely to Amer. And a statue was set in a temple. Even the statue of Meera Bai has been installed with Lord Krishna by witnessing her devotion.

Meera Bai was a Rajput lady and further, she was married to Raja Bhoj, but she was more into her devotion and sacrificed her life in the name of Lord Krishna where she wrote many poetries and bhajans.
