Banke Bihari Mandir
Vrindavan, Uttar PradeshFeatured
ॐ
A bhakti-rich temple in Vrindavan where Krishna is adored as Banke Bihari, the one who stands in a graceful threefold bend. Established in 1864 by the saint-musician Swami Haridas, its darshan is unusually intimate, with a curtain drawn at intervals so the Lord's playful gaze never overwhelms the devotee. It remains the beating heart of Braj's Krishna devotion.
