Radha-Govinda


In this temple are the beautiful pratibhu murtis of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda. The original Deity of Govindaji was established in Vrindavan by Srila Rupa Gosvami. This is one of the most popular temples in Radha-Kunda. The canadana (sandalwood paste) decorations painted on the Deities' face and hands are famous throughout Radha-Kunda. In the hot summer months, Lord Govindaji wears only a kaupina during the mangal-arati darsana, and one can see the full beauty of the Lord's transcendental body. It is said that this is one of the oldest temples at Radha-Kunda and was built by the king of Jaipura, Raja Man Singh in 1591.

Directions: This temple is located across the street from the Radha-Raman Temple, down the street a little, on the right side.
