History & significance

Built by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj over eleven years using thirty thousand tonnes of Italian marble and the hands of a thousand artisans.

The two storeys enshrine Radha Krishna above and Sita Ram below, ringed by carved panels narrating the leelas.

Every evening the marble is lit in slowly shifting colours, a spectacle that has made Prem Mandir the most photographed temple in Braj.
