MUST VISIT PLACES
Shri Banke Bihari Temple
This is the most famous temple in Vrindavan. The idol of Lord Krishna stands in the Tribhanga posture. It is believed that if you look into the eyes of the idol for too long, you will lose consciousness due to his divine charm, hence the curtain is pulled periodically.
Barsana (Radha Rani Temple)
Located about 45 km from Vrindavan, Barsana is the birthplace of Radha Rani. The main temple, 'Shriji Temple', is situated on a hill top. Barsana is also world-famous for its 'Lathmar Holi', where women playfully beat men with sticks.
Prem Mandir (Temple of Love)
A massive temple complex dedicated to Sita-Ram and Radha-Krishna. It is made of white Italian marble. The temple looks stunning in the evening when the musical fountain show begins and the temple changes colors with lighting.
Nidhivan (Mysterious Forest)
A mysterious place where it is believed that Lord Krishna performs Raas Leela with Gopis every night. The trees here are intertwined in pairs. No one is allowed to stay inside after sunset.
