Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma performed a puja of a Radha-Krishna stone on Monday at the Gupt Vrindavan Dham complex in Jaipur [1].
The ceremony marks the beginning of a major religious-tourism development intended to draw pilgrims to the Jagatpura area. The project represents a significant investment in the state's spiritual infrastructure and tourism economy.
The Gupt Vrindavan Dham complex is being developed on six acres of land [2]. According to project plans, the temple will rise to 17 floors [2]. The Chief Minister participated in the shila pujan, a ritual worship of the foundation stone, to signal the start of construction on the massive structure.
Sharma said the event was a matter of pride for Rajasthan [1]. He said the development was a key step in creating a major religious hub in the region.
The project is situated in the Jagatpura neighborhood of Jaipur. Local officials said the complex is designed to integrate traditional worship, and modern tourism facilities to accommodate large crowds of devotees.
While the ceremony focused on the spiritual significance of the Radha-Krishna stone, the scale of the 17-storey building suggests an ambition to create one of the most prominent religious landmarks in the state [2]. The use of six acres for the site ensures space for both the central temple, and supporting infrastructure [2].
“The planned temple will have 17 floors.”
The development of Gupt Vrindavan Dham reflects a broader trend of integrating large-scale infrastructure with religious tourism in Rajasthan. By constructing a high-rise temple complex, the state government aims to increase the volume of domestic tourism and strengthen the cultural identity of Jaipur's outskirts.
