The beautiful Prem Mandir in Vrindavan is surely worth your visit

Prem Mandir is a Hindu temple in the Indian city of Vrindavan, Mathura district. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj (the fifth Original Jagadguru) founded the temple, which is maintained by Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, an international non-profit educational, spiritual, and charitable trust. The complex is situated on a 55-acre plot of land on the outskirts of Vrindavan. It is named after Radha Krishna and Sita Ram. Radha Krishna is on the first level, while Sita Ram is on the second. Various Leelas of Shri Krishna and Rasik saints are depicted on the main temple’s wall.

Construction began in January 2001, and the inauguration ceremony was held from February 15 to 17, 2012. On February 17, the temple was opened to the public. The total cost was Rs. 150 crore ($23 million). Shri Radha Govind (Radha Krishna) and Shri Sita Ram are the presiding deities. A pillar-free, dome-shaped satsang hall of 73,000 square feet is being built next to Prem Mandir, with a capacity of 25,000 people. The temple complex is surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains and features life-size depictions of Shri Krishna’s four leelas – Jhulan leela, Govardhan leela, Raas leela, and Kaliya Naag leela.On January 14, 2001, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj placed the cornerstone in the presence of thousands of followers. The building’s construction, which involved about 1000 artisans, took about 12 years. Kripalu Ji Maharaj, whose primary ashram was in Vrindavan, created the Vrindavan site.  He gave Shri Vrindavan Dham the gift of love as a dedication. Italian marble was used in the construction of Prem Mandir. The two-story white monument is seated on a raised platform that is 128 feet wide, and the temple is 125 feet high and 190 feet long overall.

Visitors can witness the 48 panels representing Shri Radha Krishna’s pastimes that are carved on the temple’s outer walls thanks to a circumambulation road that has been built on the mandir prangan, the platform where the temple is located. The walls are 3.25 feet thick and composed of pure Italian marble. The garbha-walls griha’s are 8 feet thick to support the weight of the enormous shikhar, swarna kalash, and the flag. There are 84 panels that have been installed on the temple’s façade and show Shri Radha Krishna’s devoted deeds. In addition to this, the temple also contains various images of the Radha Krishna Leela, or the miracles of Lord Krishna.
