== History ==<br />
The Kanak Vrindavan Valley Complex was built approximately 275 years ago by [[Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh]] of Jaipur. This beautiful, greenery filled valley is surrounded by the [[Aravalli hills]] and often said to resemble the Vrindavan; the place where Lord Krishna enjoyed the Maharaas with Gopis. The Kanak Vrindavan Valley was built for entertainment and recreation of Maharani and the Maharaja. According to some people the Maharaja planned for an [[Ashvamedha]] Yagna and made arrangement of waters from sacred rivers to collect here. A Lord Krishna Temple named Govind Deoji was also built around the same time.<ref name="Org"/><br />

== Architecture ==<br />
The Kanak Vrindavan Garden is a beautifully constructed and chosen spot located in the valley of the Nahargarh hills, and is dotted with unique trees. It is full of trees and lawns, decorated with intricate 'chhatris', exquisite mirror and 'jali' work on the walls of the Govind Deoji temple, along with a support of a series of fountains. The main garden is divided into eight sections, and is having a main fountain called 'Parikrama', carved out of a single marble slab. Temple Garbha Griha is also placed inside the temple parisar (complex) and is decorated with delicate 'panni' work. These all season green gardens at the Valley offer a good view of Jaipur and other nearby attractions mainly Amer Fort and the [[Dharbawati River]]. The scenery has been used a number of times in many [[Bollywood]] films, such as Lamhe (1991). Some nearby attractions include: [[Amer Fort]], [[Jal Mahal]], Elephant Park, [[Nahargarh fort]] and [[Jaigarh Fort]].<br />
