Gopal Mandir was built by Krishnabai Holkar, the wife of Maharaja Yashwantrav Holkar, in 1832. She was an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna. It is said that the temple was built at a cost of 80 thousand rupees, in those times. Spread over an expanse of 1.25 acres, the temple is constructed of wood and stones. It also has shelter spots within its premises, made up of wood, stones and iron.

It is believed that darshan and prayers at the Gopal Temple take away all the burden of past misdoings and turn all wishes into reality. Only the fortunate get a chance for darshan at the temple, which is famed for its blessed environment. Vasant Panchami is the best day to visit the temple when a host of special ceremonies are observed here.

The enticing architecture of Gopal Temple is one of its main attractions. Ornamented with marble, the temple is designed like a spiral, along the lines of the Maratha style of architecture. It has a big central hall with huge pillars. When the glass-made chandeliers are lit, the temple’s design amazes all the visitors. Within its sanctum sanctorum, the idol of Lord Krishna is placed on a marble platform, amidst silver-clad gates. The temple also houses idols of Lord Varun, Varah Avtar and Padmavati Lakshmi. The temple was renovated in 2022 and all norms of heritage conservation were followed in this process. The roof and walls were plastered with a mix of crushed bricks, lime, fenugreek seeds, pulse, jaggery and other such resources.

Kanha Ji is offered with Mishri, Makhan and Panchmeva Laddoos at the Gopal Mandir. Besides, bhog of pedas and panjiri is also offered to the deity here.
