Prem Mandir

Sprawled in a vast area of 54 acres on the outskirts of Vrindavan, Prem Mandir is a beautiful complex and packs in everything so as to delight every Krishna lover. Inaugurated in the year 2012, the spiritual precincts are contemporary as visualised by the fifth Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. What makes this place absolutely worth visiting, apart from the magnificent temple built in pure white marble, is its well maintained, neatly trimmed garden with an aesthetic and architectural appeal. The spacious grounds are house to life size statuettes and paintings of Lord Krishna, Goddess Radha and other legendary characters that add element and bring alive fascinating stories from the life of Lord Krishna for every visiting devotee. Among the lilas presented, the Govardhan lila and the rasalila feature more prominently.

A good time to visit the temple is early in the morning or in the evening during sunset when the artistic appeal of the garden setting is further accentuated by harmonized light and sound effects transcending the visitor to a different world. Keep aside at least 2 hours for seeing and savoring the sculptural highlights of Prem Mandir―there is a canteen in the premises too in case you need some refreshment after all the walking.
