About Prem Mandir
Built by the Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat and opened in 2012, a white Italian marble temple on a large lawn with carved panels of the Krishna story on the outer walls. It is the polished, new face of Vrindavan and it draws very big evening crowds for the light and fountain show, when the marble is lit in changing colours. Go at dusk, see the show, and expect a wait for the car park.
What to see and do
- Marble carving of the Krishna leelas
- Evening light show
- Govardhan leela tableaux in the garden
- Lawns for sitting after dark
