Vrindavan, Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh · 27.5833°, 77.6976°
A dense sacred grove of tulsi and other trees in the heart of Vrindavan, containing the Rang Mahal, the Bansichori Radharani shrine and the Raslila Sthali, and associated with the saint-musician Swami Haridas.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Devotees believe Radha and Krishna still dance the rasa-lila in the grove at night, so it is barricaded shut after dark.
