"The name “Jaipur” literally means “City (Pur) of Victory (Jai)”. This is in relation to Jai Singh’s (1699-1744) victory over Aurangzeb’s planned attack against Vrindavana to destroy temples and deities. Jai Singh had heard of the planned attack and quickly went to Vrindavana to warn the people and save as many temples as possible. Many of the Vrindavana deities were brought to the area of Jaipur. When Aurangzeb arrived in Vrindavana, he found that numerous people had vacated the town and many temples were without deities. He was furious and tore down the upper storeys of the Govindaji temple until there was a loud and frightening noise that shook the ground and made Aurangzeb stop his attack and retreat. Meanwhile, Jai Singh had already taken the deities of Radha-Govindaji to Jaipur and was worshiping them in a place near Amber, called the “Palace of Clouds”. Later, as the threat of Mughal attacks decreased, Jai Singh brought the deities down into Jaipur. After this the city was further developed. Presently, Jaipur has 106 main temples and numerous other minor ones."
