Radha Vallabh Temple

Radha Vallabh Temple is a historic Hindu temple in Vrindavan, Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, dedicated to Radha Vallabh, a form of Lord Krishna symbolizing the unity of Radha and Krishna. Founded in 1585 by saint Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu, founder of the Radha Vallabh Sampradaya, it is notable for enshrining a Krishna idol with a crown representing Radha instead of a separate Radha idol. Located near Banke Bihari Temple, it is one of Vrindavan's Sapta Devalayas and a major Braj pilgrimage centre.

Visitors can expect a traditional red sandstone temple complex in the narrow lanes of old Vrindavan, with a decorated sanctum housing the black stone idol of Shri Radha Vallabh. The temple has an open courtyard and pillared halls where devotees gather for darshan, bhajans and aarti. The atmosphere is devotional with chanting and music. Visitors can explore the main shrine, view intricate carvings and paintings, and observe daily rituals. Shops for prasad and religious items line the approach lanes.
