Yugala-kishore

A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma

This is one of the four oldest temples in Vrindavana. It was constructed in 1627, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor, Jahangir. The Deity of Krishna in this temple, Jugal Kishor, was installed by Hariram Vyas. Sri Madhava, a disciple of Madhavendra Puri, initiated him. This temple was abandoned, after the soldiers of Emperor Aurangzeb desecrated it in 1670. There is no worship done in this temple, but it is interesting architecturally.

Directions

This temple is near Keshi Ghata. This ancient temple is just behind the Dantsamaj (Tooth Samadhi) of Gadadhara Pandit. From the samadhi, you follow the road around to Keshi Ghata and this fairly large temple is on your left, after 30 seconds.
