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.
