Madan Mohan Temple, Vrindavan
मदन मोहन मंदिर
One of Vrindavan's oldest temples, with a towering sandstone spire on a mound beside the Yamuna. It offers views over the old town.
Madan Mohan Temple was built in the 16th century and is one of the earliest temples of the Chaitanya tradition in Vrindavan. It sits on the Duvadashaditya Tila mound beside the former channel of the Yamuna. Its tall, cone-shaped sandstone spire is the symbol of the Vrindavan skyline. The original deity was moved to Karauli in Rajasthan during the reign of Aurangzeb. Today, a new temple beside the old one continues worship. Climbing the mound gives views of the old town and the riverbanks, and it is quieter than Banke Bihari. Entry is free. The temple closes at midday.
