Within Imphal city, Shri Bijoy Govindaji Temple at Sagolband is described by Manipur Tourism as among the oldest temples in the state, architecturally akin to Shree Govindajee and believed to enshrine the elder brother of the deity worshipped at the royal palace temple. The shrine is part of the state’s Swadesh Darshan spiritual circuit alongside Govindajee, Gopinath, Kaina, and Bungshibudon.
History
Imphal East district tourism notes that Development of Spiritual Circuit in Manipur (Swadesh Darshan, 2016–2017) covered Shri Bijoy Govindajee together with Shri Govindajee, Shri Gopinath, Shri Bungshibodon, and Kaina temples.
Manipur Tourism’s Culture and Heritage page highlights the temple’s peaceful courtyard and architectural parallels with the palace-compound Govindajee shrine, making it a quieter Vaishnavite stop within the capital.
