Sri Govinddevji, a family deity of Amber`s Kachavaha dynasty, now dwells in Jaipur along with hie consort Radha. It had moved to Amber in the latter part of Aurangzeb`s rule and this marked the kachavaha rules` assertion of regional power and identity. The rise of the deity to the status of a symbol of regionhal power also meant the rise of Gaudiya Vaishanavism and the deity`s custodians to power in Kachavaha territory. This work publishes and studies documents spanning more than three and a half centuries.. What emerges is an account of the fortunes of Govinddevji. The documents also throw light the religious policy and provide insights into the administration and diplomatic usage of the Kachavaha Chancery, an important aspect which the author seeks to highlight.
