Playground of Lord Krishna
Vrindavan is the heart of Braj, the land where Krishna spent his childhood. The town reverberates with the chant of Radhe Radhe. It is a place of ecstatic devotion (Bhakti). Unlike the asceticism of Shiva's Varanasi, Vrindavan is about sweetness, play, and love. There are over 5,000 temples here, from ancient stone structures to the modern ISKCON complex.
The center of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. The Banke Bihari temple offers a unique darshan experience where the curtain is pulled open and shut constantly.
