Radha Damodar Temple, Vrindavan

Radha Damodar Temple in Loi Bazar is a structure built with North Indian architectural style and features detailed stone carvings throughout. The walls display carved scenes from Krishna and Radha stories, decorating both the exterior and interior spaces.

The temple was founded in 1542 by Jiva Goswami, who followed Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It remains among the oldest buildings from that era still standing in Vrindavan.

The temple is a center of daily worship where visitors see devotees bringing flowers, fruits, and milk as offerings to the deities. The spaces fill with people singing and praying together, showing how deeply connected the community feels to this place.

The temple is open from sunrise to sunset, with different ceremony times throughout the day. Visitors should expect crowded spaces during prayer times and wear appropriate clothing when entering.

The temple preserves original handwritten manuscripts and writings of the Six Goswamis, making it an important center for Sanskrit studies. These texts are over 500 years old and scholars still study them today.
