RADHA RAMANA TEMPLE

The Radharamana Temple is very close to Nidhivan Sarovar Portico and is exquisitely crafted in intricate architecture. The temple was built by Shah Behari Lall in 1826 and till date enshrines the self-manifested mesmeric deity of Lord Radha Raman in black stone. Another fascinating thing about the idol is it is one of the few original idols left in Vrindavan while others were moved to Jaipur to protect from the invasive carnage by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
