Mandir. There is samadhi or resting place of many Gaudiya Acharyas and Rasika Vaishnavs in the samadhi area. The temple
also houses the Govardhan Shila given to Srila Sanatana Goswami by Krishna Himself. If one takes 4 parikramas of Radha
Damodar Ji, it is equivalent to doing a Govardhan Parikrama itself.
Radha Shyamsundar Mandir
The deities of Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar is a temple established by Shyamananda Prabhu who received the deity of
Shyamsundar Ji from Radharani directly.
Radha Govind Mandir
This is an iconic mandir established by Srila Rupa Goswami. It is one of the very popular and grand mandirs in Vrindavan. The
temple was razed by Aurangzeb and deities of Radha Govind Dev Ji were shifted to Jaipur. The original deities are still in
Jaipur and the mandir there is extremely popular as well. There is a new Govinda Dev Ji Mandir made just behind the main
temple and a pratibhimba murti of Govind Ji is worshipped there.
Meera Bai Mandir
Meera Bai Mandir is located just nearby Nidhivan (hardly 2-minute walking distance). This is the place where Meera Bai used to
stay while she was here in Vrindavan. The temple has the original shaligrama shila worshipped by Meera Bai. The old pujari
baba is the descendant of the same family who actually offered the place to Meera Bai to stay and do bhajan. The temple has
very powerful vibes and is very less visited, hence you can site in peace and do your bhajan here.
Nidhivan
Nidhivan is a rasa-sthali where Krishna dances with gopis and Sri Radhika in the mid-night. This should not be seen from the
material plane of vilas (enjoyment) but from the platform of prema-bhakti where the atma (soul) meets the paramatma Sri
Krishna. These gopis are no ordinary girls but exalted sages and Vaishnavas who have done years of tapasya to have Krishna
as their husband. Also, Krishna dances with every gopis at the same time and every gopi feel that Krishna is only with Her and
nobody else. It requires blessings of Rasika Vaishnavs and sincere prayers unto Srimati Radharani to invoke blessings from
Them to understand this inner confidential lila. All the trees in Nidhivan are bent and it presents a very uncanny and a powerful
spiritual vibe while inside the premises of Nidhivan. It is said by exalted saints that the trees in Nidhivan are gopis meditating on
the nitya-lilas of Srimati Radharani and Krishna.
Radha Ramana Mandir
Radha Ramana Lal Ji is the deity of Gopal Bhatta Goswami. He appeared from shaligram shila when Gopal Bhatta Goswami
had the desire to have a deity.

(worshipped by Narotamma Das Thakur), Radha Vinod (worshipped by Loknath Goswami), Vijay Govinda (worshipped by
Baladeva Vidyabhusna) and Giriraj Shila locket (gifted to Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami by Mahaprabhu). The temple is just a
couple of minutes walk from Radha Raman Lal Ji and is very peaceful. You get a vintage and nice spiritual feel in the main
courtyard. There is samadhi area of many Gaudiya Rasika Vaishnavas including Loknath Goswami, Vishwanath Chakravarti
Thakur and Narotamma Das Thakur.
Radha Gopinath Mandir
The deities of Radha Gopinath Ji was established by Vajranabh, the grandson of Krishna. He appeared in the dream of
Paramananda Bhattacharya and got Gopinath Ji excavated, and entrusted Madhupandita Goswami to re-established the
worship of Gopinath Ji. Jahnava Maiya used to worship here. It is said that Jahnava Maiya merged in the deities of Gopinath Ji
to end her earthly pastimes. It is the only temple where Jahnava Maiya is to the left of Krishna and not Srimati Radharani, who
is in fact on the right. In Nitya-Goloka Lila, Jahnava Maiya is Ananga Manjari, Srimati Radharani's younger sister.
Gopeshwar Mahadev Mandir
Lord Shiva resides here in the form of Gopi, hence his name is Gopeshwar Mahadev. As described in Srimad Bhagavatam,
Lord Shiva is vaishnavam yatha sambhu, which means that he is the topmost Vaishnav or topmost devotee of Krishna. Shiva Ji
wanted to participate in raas but no male is allowed in there as Krishna is the only purusha and rest all are prakriti for His
pleasure. Hence, to please his Lord, He took the form of gopi and was allowed to enter the raas lila. The darshan of Gopeshwar
Mahadev Ji is very soothing and she (he) is dressed as a gopi here. It is said that Gopeshwar Mahadev immediately sanctions
residence in Vraj if anybody sincerely prays here. He is the shetrapal of Vridnvan.
Radha Madana Mohana Mandir
The deity of Radha Madana Mohana Dev Ji was worshipped by Srila Sanatana Goswami. It is located just a bit of Kaliya Ghat
and one needs to climb on stairs to reach there. The view of Vrindavan and Yamuna from the hill-top temple is spectacular.
Prem Mandir
Prem Mandir is one of the most visited temples in Vrindavan because of it's huge architecture, white marbles design, and grand
area. There is an evening water show depicting many lilas of Krishna. It is a treat to watch the Vrindavan lilas on the water
fountain and it looks really something breathtaking. The mandir is located on 2 floors and there are many painting and
decorations throughout the temple. Once the sun sets, the entire Prem Mandir is lit with colourful lights which makes it look
even further beautiful. Though, it is flocked mostly by tourists and not much by devotees.
Rangnath Ji
This is the largest temples in Vrindavan in terms of area. The main deity is Vishnu who is rather in a sheshnayi pose or sitting
on Balrama Ji's expansion Anant Shehsa. The deity here is worshipped as per traditions from South-India. However, one is
really wowed by the sheer architecture and grandness of this temple.

of Krishna.
