Raj Mandir Cinema is a movie theater in Jaipur in Rajasthan state in India. Situated on the Bhagwan Das Road, near M.I.

The theater often referred to as 'Cinema Ka Mandir' is equipped with the latest technology in sound and projection with Dolby Atmos and SLS speakers, the first in the state of Rajasthan. An important landmark and tourist destination, the cinema hall has been accorded the status of largest single screen theater in Asia.

History

Originally the brainchild of Mehtab Chandra Golcha, it opened on 1 June 1976 with the film "Charas" which was a charitable fund raiser show organized by Manav Hitkari Sangh. It was designed by architect W. M. Namjoshi in Art Moderne style (Streamline Moderne or late Art Deco). Known for its large size as well as opulent and meringue interiors, Raj Mandir remains an important part of the tourist circuit, and thus usually remains full despite its size. The Bhuramal Rajmal Surana group, a prominent Jaipur jewelry house, owns and operates the cinema. The nine stars on the exterior signify nine gemstones in the Navaratna style, an homage to the owners' jewelry house.
