Day 2 in Vrindavan :

After a day well spent in peace in ISKCON TEMPLE, next morning we dropped off at Prem Mandir to witness the beauty of RadhaKrishna love.

HISTORY:

Prem Mandir Mathura, Vrindavan was established on 14th Jan, 2001 by Kripalu Ji Maharaj spread across 54 acres of land base on Devine love of RadhaKrishna which is why it is called The Temple of Devine love.

ENTRANCE:

Life size depictions of Krishna Leela at the entrance.

It was 7 am in the morning when we left for the temple taking cab from our hotel. You can easily get an auto or taxi or book a cab as we did.

As we entered the temple, there is a beautiful garden just at the entrance consisting of life size depictions of Krishna Leela. The main door is designed 8 beautiful peacock decorative door hangings, popularly known as TORAN in India. Whole marble is carved with Radha Krishna Raas Leela on the outer walls of the temple while the inside is mostly carved with portraits of miracles of Lord Krishna.

As soon as the sun start going down various lights start playing the light game making the temple looks even more beautiful in different colors during sunset and in the night light
