Banke Bihari Temple Vrindavan Tourism
Type of destination: Religious Site
Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours
Banke Bihari Temple, located in the holy town of Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh, India, is one of the most revered shrines dedicated to Lord Krishna. Established in 1864 by Swami Haridas, a great saint of the Nimbarka Sampradaya, the temple is an epitome of the divine love and devotion towards Krishna. It is said that the main deity, Thakurji (Lord Krishna), manifested Himself from the idol of Lord Krishna established here by Swami Haridas. The architecture of the temple is imbued with Rajasthani style, with a stone façade and intricate carvings. The darkened hall leads devotees to the sanctum where the gleaming idol of Krishna, adorned with jewels and fine garments, captivates the hearts of worshippers. The atmosphere is charged with bhakti through the melodious songs and chants echoing in the temple premises. Pilgrims flock here to get a glimpse of Banke Bihari, especially during festivals like Janmashtami, Holi, and Jhulan Yatra, when the temple is ornately decorated and celebrates with great pomp and ceremony.

A place filled with devotees of krishnaji. Crowd control by police needs to be spruced up. Always try to keep your shoes near exit point. Entry and exit points are occasionally restricted for movement..

Holy temple with difficult darshan
The temple is a must visit for people on a pilgrimage or visiting Mathura as a tourist, it is one of the holiest temples for followers of Krishna.
Getting darshan is a nightmare with no crowd control..
