About the Temple

Sri Lokanath Goswami found the deity of Sri Radha-Vinod in Kishori-Kund in Umrao-gaon near Chatravan and served Them there. Later, on the request of Rup, Sanatan and the other Goswamis, he brought his worshipful Sri Radha-Vinod to Vrindavan and began to worship Them near the temple of Sri Radha-Raman. Nowadays, the original deity that was worshipped by Sri Lokanatha Goswami is in Jaipur, and the pratibhu-vigrah is worshipped in that same temple in Vrindavan.
