Vrindavan
(15 km)
Closely linked to
Lord Krishna's youth and to stories of his playful pranks, Vrindavan
is as important a place of pilgrims as Mathura. Today it is a temple
town with ghats along the river and numerous shrines.
The most important
are :
The imposing
Govind
Deo Temple
built at an enormous cost off one crore rupees by Raja
Man Singh of Jaipur in 1590 AD. Constructed in red sandstone in the
shape of a Greek cross, it was once a magnificent seven storeyed
structure.
