Vrindavan, a famous sacred holy town recognised for its
over 5000 temples.It is a major
place of pilgrimage and is integral to the legend of Lord
Krishna. The name Vrindavan, evokes the playfullness and lovable
characteristics of shri Krishna. These are the woods where
he frolicked with the Gopis and tenderly wooed
Radha(consort).
Here Lord Krishna played his "Flute" and performed his
"Leelas".
The town was later immortalised in the poems of surdas, Raskhan,
Meerabai and other great poets. Here famous saint Vallabhacharya,
master of Indian Classical music Swami Haridas, Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu lived. Kings and commons over the centuries have
graced its soil with many temples, each a worthy rival to others
in beauty of execution.
