Krishna Janmasthan, or Kesava Deo Temple is a temple in Mathura, India and is among the sacred of Hindu sites as it is birthplace of Lord Krishna. The Keshav Dev Temple is a Hindu temple situated besides the main Krishnajanmabhoomi complex, the birthplace of Lord Krishna in Mathura, India. Kehsav Dev (Krishna) is the deity of this temple. According to traditions the original deity was installed by ''Bajranabh'', who was great-grandson of Krishna. This temple still carries the local touch and feel of the several other temples in the twin towns of Mathura and Vrindaban. After 1992 Ayodhya situation, when security was enhanced at the main Krishnajanmabhoomi complex, this temple is slowly becoming the de facto krishna temple for localites, in addition to the older Dwarikadheesh temple in the old town. This temple holds its own festival calendar, and hosts nearly all of the Hindu functions within its own premises independently. The adjacent residential areas of mallapura, Govind Nagar, JagannathPuri are the main feeder for many of the festivals. It holds its own "lathamar holi", "chhappan bhog", "Krishna Janmashtami" among other festivals. Most of the festivals here are in sync with calendar followed in temples of Goverdhan, and out of sync with the main Krishnajanmabhoomi complex. ==History== It was built in Mathura over the prison which was believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. In contemporary memory, it was built by Raja Vir Sinh Bundela of Orchaa, in the reign of Jehangir. The Rajput prince enjoyed a special favour with the Mughal on account of his support to Jehangir in his succession. The site has been a deeply religious one for the Hindus. It is said that the first temple here was constructed almost 5,000 years ago by Vajranabha, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna. The next big temple was constructed here during the time of the Gupta Emperor Chandragupta II around 400 AD. This temple was so grand that it was said that neither painting nor description could describe it. The second temple at the site came up during the rule of Chandragupta Vikramaditya. It was destroyed in 1017 AD by Mahmud of Ghazni. In Katra Keshavdev, they found an inscription on a stone slab which speaks of the third temple, built by Jajja in Vikrama Samvat 1207 (1150 AD) during the rule of Vijaypal Deva. It’s said Chaitanya Mahaprabhu visited the same temple when he came to Mathura before its destruction by the forces of Sikandar Lodhi in the 16th Century. The fourth temple, the destruction of which is the source of the modern controversy, was built by Veer Singh Dev Bundela of Orchha when Jehangir was on the Mughal throne. But Aurangzeb’s said to have ordered its destruction in 1669 and the present-day Idgah was constructed over a part of the raised plinth of the Keshavdev temple. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kesava Deo Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
