The main murti worshipped in the temple was carved by Rupa
Goswami. He had given it to his disciple Jiva Goswami who built the temple in
1542. Goswamis who lived in the region used to meet and discuss the life of Sri
Krishna and Radha here.
When Srila Prabhupada lived in Vrindavan he had made the
temple his temporary residence. A small room used by Prabhupadaji can still be
found here.
The temple has a huge courtyard. The cream colored main
temple is noted for its arches and paintings. There is a huge bell in the right
side of the sanctum sanctorum.
The sanctum sanctorum has different set of murtis of Radha
and Krishna which were worshipped by different
Goswamis from the 15th century:
Sri Radha Vridavan Chadraji – was worshipped by Krishnadas
Kaviraj Goswami.
Lalitha Sakhi Sri Radha Damodarji murtis worshipped by Jiva
Goswami.
Sri Radha Madhavji murtis worshipped by Jaidev Goswami.
Sri Radha Chail Chikanji murtis worshipped by Bhugarbha
Goswami.
In front of the murtis is the Govardhan Shila also known as
Girirajcharn Shila – it has the footprints of Sri Krishna and was worshipped by
Sanatana Goswami. The shila also has imprints of a calf, flute and a stick used
to control cows.
Apart from this the temple complex also has samadhis of
several Goswamis. There are also many bhajans kutirs in the complex. Bhajan
kutir of Rupa Goswami, Jiva Goswami and Srila Prabhupada can be seen here.
