Jaipura
A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma
This temple is also known as Madhava Bilas. It is made of fine and beautifully carved sandstone. This large structure was built by the Maharaja of Jaipur, Madho Singh (also known as Kayaam Singh), on the order of his spiritual master, Giridhari Lal Sarnaji Maharaja, the head of the Gwaillor temple of Vrindavana. The temple construction began in 1917, and was finished in 1924. The Maharaja of Jaipur financed the building and built a railway line that goes between Mathura and Vrindavana, so that large pieces of sandstone could be used to construct this temple. The presiding Deities here are Radha Madhava on the center altar. To the right are Radha Ananda-Bihari,Lalita devi and Visaka devi. On the left altar is a four-armed deity of Hamsa Gopala. To the right is Narada Muni and on the left are the four Kumaras. The black Deity on the right side of the bottom level is Nimbarka Acarya.

The temple is close to the Rama Krishna Mission Hospital. Walk from the hospital towards Mathura--after a few minutes walk, it is on the right side. It is set back a few hundred feet from the road.
