Welcome to the sacred Dauji Mandir in Mathura, a historic temple dedicated to Lord Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Krishna, revered as Dauji. This guide provides essential Dauji Mandir Mathura darshan information, including timings, rituals, travel tips, and more. Whether you're embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage or exploring a Mathura tour, this resource ensures a divine and enriching visit to one of India’s oldest temples, celebrated for its historical significance and vibrant festivals.
Located in Baldeo, 21 km from Mathura city, Dauji Mandir is a 16th-century temple dedicated to Lord Balarama, also known as Baldev or Dauji, the deity of strength and protection. Built in 1535 AD by Raja Mahendra Singh, the temple houses a magnificent 6.5-foot idol of Balarama alongside his consort, Revati, and a smaller Krishna idol. Believed to be over 5,000 years old, the deity is said to have been installed by Krishna’s great-grandson, Vajranabha. The temple’s proximity to the Dauji Kund, where Balarama bathed, adds to its sanctity. As a key site for Balarama devotees, it attracts thousands, especially during festivals like Holi, for its unique spiritual aura.
