Vrindavan Travel Guide
Closely
linked to Lord Krishna's yout and to stories of his playful pranks, Vrindavan
is as impotant a place of pilgrimage as mathura.
Today it is a temple town with ghats along the rivfer and numerous shrines.
The most important are:
The imposing Govind Deo Temple built at an enormous cost of one crore rupees
by Raja man singh of jaipur in 1590 AD. Constructed in red sandstone in the
shape of a greek cross, it was once a magnificent siven storeyed structure.
The Rangaji Temple built in the dravidian style, the Madan Mohan Temple -
the oldest in Vrindavan, the popular Banke Bihari Temple, the famous Radha
Vallabh Temple and the ornate Shahji Temple built in 1876 by a wealthy jeweller
Shah Kundan Lal of Luckknow, are some of its more interesting shrines.
The International Society for Krishna Consiousness (ISKCON) has also built
an ornamental marbel temple at Vrindavan.
Adjoining the temple is the Samadhi of Shri Prabhupada, the founder of this.
