About Priyakant Ju
Priyakant Ju Temple is a modern temple shaped like a lotus, built by the Vishwa Shanti Sewa Charitable Trust of Shri Devkinandan Thakur Ji Maharaj and opened in 2016. The temple stands in a pond and is lit up beautifully in the evening.
It is on the Chhatikara–Vrindavan road, close to Prem Mandir, so most visitors see both on the same evening.

A modern lotus temple
Priyakant Ju Temple was built by the Vishwa Shanti Sewa Charitable Trust of Shri Devkinandan Thakur Ji Maharaj and opened in 2016. The whole temple is shaped like a lotus and stands in a pond, so it looks especially beautiful when it is lit up after sunset. It has a clean campus, steps to sit on and good space for families.
Follow the photography signs inside the temple; photos from the outside are popular in the evening.
Best time to visit
Come in the evening, after Prem Mandir or before its fountain show – the two temples are close to each other on the Chhatikara–Vrindavan road. Weekends are busy. Janmashtami, Holi and Radhashtami are celebrated with special programmes.
By taxi
Parking is easy on the main road. A good evening route is Priyakant Ju, Prem Mandir and then ISKCON for Sandhya Aarti at 7 PM. Book a Mathura to Vrindavan taxi; for groups ask for a Tempo Traveller.
