Welcome to the sacred Madan Mohan Temple in Vrindavan, Mathura, one of the oldest and most revered Lord Krishna temples, dedicated to Lord Krishna as Madan Mohan, the "Enchanter of Cupid." This guide provides essential Madan Mohan Temple 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 this historic temple, known for its Nagara-style red sandstone architecture and serene location near Kaliya Ghat on the Yamuna River.
Located at VIP Road, Bankebihari Colony, Goda Vihar, Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh 281121, the Madan Mohan Temple, also known as Shri Radha Madan Mohan Temple, is Vrindavan’s oldest temple, built in 1580 AD by Kapur Ram Das of Multan under the guidance of Sanatana Goswami, a disciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The temple houses a replica of the original Madan Mohan idol, believed to resemble Lord Krishna from the waist down, alongside Goddess Radha and Lalita Gopi. According to legend, the deity was discovered by Advaita Acharya at the base of a banyan tree and entrusted to Sanatana Goswami. The original idol was moved to Karauli, Rajasthan, during Aurangzeb’s invasion in 1670 AD to protect it from destruction. Perched on a 50-foot hillock, Dvadasaditya Tila, the temple’s spiritual and historical significance draws Krishna devotees worldwide, especially during Janmashtami and Holi.
