Tourist Places in Vrindavan

By Madhuri ThakurMadhuri Thakur

Vrindavan, Holy City

Vrindavan, also known as Brindaban or Vrindavan, is a town in northern India’s state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located at Mathura’s north on the Yamuna River’s west bank. The “Krishna”, a known Hindu deity, and his devotees call this town home town. It is an important pilgrimage site and holds particular significance for the Gaudiya sect. Because it is where the crucial events in Krishna’s mythological life take place, Vrindavan functions as a kind of heaven where a religious drama takes place outside of the normal confines of human society. There are so many tourist places in Vrindavan that one can never put them against each other.

Lord Krishna was born in Vrindavan. He spent his early years in this beautiful place and developed into the euphoric young man who was enticed into the forest with young maidens to participate in his divine play and do a circle dance popularly known as “rasleela”. With all this history, Vrindavan offers visitors a heavenly trip.

#1 Prem Mandir

Prem Mandir is probably the newest of the city’s most notable temples, constructed on the outskirts of Vrindavan, the mythical home of the Hindu god Krishna. Kripalu Maharaj, a spiritual god, built it, and his organization, Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, runs it. The mythical king Ram, who, like Krishna, is said to have been an avatar of the God Vishnu, is also honored in the temple.

The temple is dedicated to the two avatars of Vishnu and the extravagantness of ancient Hindu architecture. Alongside the main temple structure is a vast complex that can hold 25,000 people. The music fountain with light displays is yet another exciting feature at this location.

Things to do:

  • Watching the evening lighting in the temple
  • Watching the Musical Water Show, which depicts the past life of Krishna
  • Vrindavan Lila Tableau
  • Adoring the architecture, that itself is so mesmerizing

Best time to visit:

The best months to visit are January, February, March, October, November, and December. Janmashtami is also considered the best time to stay here.

#2 Banke Bihari Temple

The influential Goswami family built the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan in 1863 as a loving tribute to the mischievous God Krishna. Mathura and Vrindavan, approximately 11 kilometers apart, are heavily influenced by Krishna’s mythology. God is said to have been born in prison in Mathura, where the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple is. The alleged prison cell can still be seen in the city. Vasudeva, his father, sneaks him out of prison and into safety across the raging Yamuna River before God disappears.

The idol itself depicts Krishna as a naughty child. As a result, the myths surrounding this temple are based on how God was treated as a child. Because it is not considered wise or appropriate to wake a child in that manner, unlike other temples, there are no loud bells here to call to God.

Things to do:

  • Visiting Govinda Dev Ji Temple.
  • Must Visiting Shah ji Temple
  • Visiting Yugal Kishor Temple
  • Having a Real Braj experience through Real Braj

Best time to visit:

Winter months like October to March are considered best because they have the perfect temperature.

#3 ISKCON Temple

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) built its first temple, the Sri Krishna Balrama Temple in Vrindavan, more commonly known as the ISKCON Temple. There are approximately 850 ISKCON temples worldwide today, of which more than 150 are in India.

ISKCON adherents hold the belief that Swami Chaitanya is Lord Krishna’s incarnation. It claims that Krishna is the source of all of God’s incarnations. ISKCON followers venerate Krishna as the “swayam bhagvan,” or the highest form of God. This phrase came from Swami Prabhupada himself. According to the teachings, “Radha” is the divine female counterpart of Lord Krishna and the embodiment of divine love.

Things to do:

  • Visit Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami’s Samadhi
  • Must Visit the Radha Raman Temple
  • Visit the Radha Damodara Temple
  • Visit the ISKCON Museum

Best time to visit:

October to March is the best month to visit as they have just a perfect temperature.

#4 Yamuna River

The Yamuna, also known as Jamuna, is northern India’s largest Ganges (Ganga) tributary. It passes through Vrindavan, a religious center. Because it runs through Vrindavan and Mathura, the Yamuna is regarded as a sacred river. As a result, it was closely associated with Lord Krishna’s pastimes. It is said that bathing in this river is much more purifying than soaking in the Ganges. Even though Lord Vishnu is said to have once touched the Ganges, the Yamuna is where Lord Krishna played, swam, and wore beautiful gopi damsels, according to legend.

Things to do:

  • Have a dip in the Holy water of Yamuna
  • Visit Kans Qila
  • Circumambulate the Holy Govardhan Parvat
  • Watch the Nova Earth Scenery

Best time to visit:

In between October to March is considered the best month to visit here.

Conclusion

For a very long time, Vrindavan was a major center for learning and Krishna worship. The Bankey Bihari temple is the most well-known of the city’s numerous temples. Behind a curtain that opens and closes every few minutes, the idol is hidden from view. There is so much more to explore and know about Lord Krishna. If you ever plan a trip, remember to visit these tourist places in Vrindavan.
