📍 About this Locality

Vrindavan is the most sacred landscape in the Vaishnava world, the forest of Vrinda where Krishna spent his childhood and youth performing the divine leelas (divine plays) celebrated in the Bhagavata Purana. The Yamuna curves gently through this small town whose temples number in the thousands, the most important being the Banke Bihari, the Radha Raman, the Govind Dev and the Iskcon Chandrodaya Mandir under construction to become the world tallest religious structure. The entire town is considered Krishna body.
