Other sights in Vrindavan

  1. International Society for Krishna Consciousness

    The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, also known as the Hare Krishnas, is based at the Krishna Balaram temple complex, accessed through a beautiful white-marble gate, which houses the tomb of Swami Prabhupada (1896–1977), the founder of the Hare Krishna organisation. Several hundred foreigners attend courses and seminars here annually.

  2. Pagal Baba Temple

    The 10-storey Pagal Baba Temple, a fairy-tale-castle lookalike, has an amusing succession of animated puppets and dioramas behind glass cases on the ground floor, which depict scenes from the lives of Rama and Krishna.

  3. Cave Passageway

    To the right of the glittery Krishna Temple, at the town’s entrance, is a fake cave passageway where you walk past a long line of slightly moving tableaux depicting scenes from Krishna’s life.
