Radha Vallabh Temple is the main temple of the Radha Vallabh sect, founded by the 16th-century saint Hit Harivansh. The sect worships Radha as the supreme deity. Beside the main shrine there is no image of Radha; instead, a crown symbolizes her presence. The original red sandstone old temple was built in 1585, and worship now takes place in the new temple next to it. The evening chanting, known as Samaj Gayan, is distinctive. Located in the central part of the old town, not far from Banke Bihari Temple, it is free to enter and closes at midday.
