Mathura Vrindavan temple timings – summer and winter

Mathura Vrindavan temple timings change twice a year. Summer timings start around Holi (March) and winter timings around Bhai Dooj after Diwali. In 2026 Banke Bihari moves to winter hours from 11 November: 8:45 AM – 1:30 PM and 4:30 – 8:30 PM. Festivals like Janmashtami, Radhashtami and Holi bring special darshan times and very big crowds, so always check the temple guide before you go and keep some time in hand.

Mathura Vrindavan temple opening and closing time

This table shows the Mathura Vrindavan temple opening and closing time for the current winter season – when each temple opens in the morning, closes for the midday rest, opens again and closes at night. Where a temple keeps the same hours all year, it is marked on its guide page. In summer (from about Holi) many temples open earlier and close later at night – the summer hours are on each temple guide.

Mathura Vrindavan temple dress code

Most temples in Mathura and Vrindavan have no written uniform, but modest Indian or simple clothes are expected. In December 2024 Banke Bihari asked visitors to dress modestly and avoid mini skirts, torn jeans, half pants and night suits (India TV, Deccan Herald). ISKCON Vrindavan also asks devotees to dress modestly. Follow the same rule everywhere and you will have no problem at any temple.

  • Wear clothes that cover shoulders and knees – saree, salwar suit, kurta, or simple trousers and shirt
  • Avoid shorts, mini skirts, torn jeans and night suits (Banke Bihari appeal, Dec 2024)
  • Shoes are left outside – carry socks for hot marble floors in summer and cold floors in winter
  • Carry a shawl or jacket in December–January; mornings are cold and foggy
  • Keep leather belts and bags to a minimum; at Krishna Janmabhoomi bags are not allowed inside

Mathura Vrindavan temple photos & images

Here are Mathura Vrindavan temple photos – the white marble Prem Mandir, the red sandstone Govind Dev Ji and Madan Mohan temples, and the ISKCON courtyard. Taking your own temple images? Photography is usually fine outside and in courtyards, but not of the deity in many temples: Banke Bihari does not allow photos of the deity, phones and cameras are not allowed inside Krishna Janmabhoomi, and Prem Mandir does not allow photos inside the main temple during worship.

Mathura Vrindavan temple map

This Mathura Vrindavan temple map shows where the temples are. Vrindavan's old temples sit close together in narrow lanes near the Yamuna, ISKCON and Prem Mandir are on the wider Chhatikara road side, and Mathura's temples are in the old city near Vishram Ghat. Each temple guide has its own "view on map" link for Google Maps directions.

How to plan temple visits around the timings

Almost every temple in Mathura and Vrindavan follows the same daily rhythm: open in the morning, close for the deity's rest from about noon to 4 PM, and open again in the evening until 8–9 PM. The exact hours change between summer and winter, and on festival days. The simplest plan is: Mathura and the old Vrindavan temples in the morning, rest in the afternoon, and the evening for Prem Mandir, ISKCON and the Yamuna Aarti.

Watch out for the exceptions: ISKCON opens at 4:00 AM, Rangji closes early at noon, Nidhivan and Seva Kunj close early in the evening, and Dwarkadhish has short jhanki timings instead of open darshan.

Temples by town

In Mathura: Krishna Janmabhoomi, Dwarkadhish, Vishram Ghat and Gita Mandir. In Vrindavan: Banke Bihari, Prem Mandir, ISKCON, Radha Raman, Radha Vallabh, Nidhivan, Seva Kunj, Rangji, Govind Dev Ji, Shahji, Radha Damodar, Priyakant Ju, Katyayani Peeth and Pagal Baba. In the villages of Braj: Radha Rani Temple in Barsana, Nand Bhavan in Nandgaon, Dan Ghati in Govardhan and Dauji Temple in Baldeo.

Mathura and Vrindavan fit into one day by car. The villages need a second day.

Temple timings on festival days

On Janmashtami the temples stay open late into the night for the midnight birth celebration. During Holi, darshan times at Banke Bihari and the Barsana–Nandgaon temples change, and roads near the temples are closed. On Radhashtami, Barsana is packed from early morning. In Kartik month, evening aartis are longer because of the Damodar lamp offering. Always check our temple guide for the season and give yourself extra time on these days.

Temple darshan by taxi

Temple visits are much easier with a car and a local driver who knows the parking near each temple and the timing changes. A full day (8 hours / 80 km) by car is ₹1,500–3,000 depending on the car. Book a Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car, a Mathura to Vrindavan taxi or, from Delhi, a Delhi to Vrindavan taxi.
