Welcome to the divine Radha Shyama Sundar Mandir, a sacred jewel among the seven Goswami temples in Vrindavan, Mathura, dedicated to the eternal love of Lord Krishna and Radha. This guide provides essential Radha Shyama Sundar Mandir Vrindavan 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 an enriching visit to this revered Lord Krishna temple, known for its self-manifested deities and Gaudiya Vaishnava heritage.
Located at Seva Kunj, near Loi Bazaar, Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh 281121, the Radha Shyama Sundar Mandir (also known as Shri Radha Shyamsundar Temple) was established in 1578 CE by Srila Shyamananda Prabhu, a disciple of Srila Jiva Goswami and an associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The temple houses three divine deity pairs: Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar (Lala-Lali), Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari, and a larger Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar, each with miraculous origins. The primary deity, Shyamsundar (Lala), is said to have manifested from Srimati Radharani’s heart, gifted to Shyamananda Prabhu, while Radharani (Lali) was discovered in the Bharatpur King’s treasury. The temple, one of the Sapt Devalayas (seven ancient temples), is steeped in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, with the samadhi of Shyamananda Prabhu opposite the entrance. Its red sandstone architecture and festivals like Basant Panchami and Janmashtami draw Krishna devotees worldwide.
