About Radha Rani Temple
Shri Radha Rani Temple, also called Shriji Temple or Ladli Ji Temple, stands on Bhanugarh hill in Barsana, the village of Radha Rani. A long flight of more than 250 steps leads up to the temple, and the view of Barsana and the Braj countryside from the top is beautiful.
The temple is believed to have been first built by King Vajranabh, Krishna's great-grandson. The present deities were found and installed by Narayan Bhatt Goswami in the 16th century. Barsana is world-famous for Lathmar Holi, when the women of Barsana playfully "beat" the men of Nandgaon with sticks, and for Radhashtami, Radha Rani's birthday.

Climbing to Radha Rani Temple
The temple stands on Bhanugarh hill, and more than 250 steps lead to the top. Take it slowly, carry water and rest on the landings – the view of Barsana and the Braj fields from the top is worth it. Senior citizens can go in the cooler early morning.
At the top, the temple courtyard is bright and lively, with devotees singing and dancing.
Lathmar Holi and Radhashtami
Barsana is famous all over the world for Lathmar Holi – the women of Barsana playfully "beat" the men of Nandgaon with sticks while the men protect themselves with shields. Laddu Holi is played the day before. Radhashtami, Radha Rani's birthday, is the other huge festival. On these days the roads are closed early and crowds are enormous – book your cab and stay weeks in advance.
Barsana by taxi
Barsana is about 45–50 km from Mathura Junction (approx.), around 1–1.5 hours. Most guests combine it with Nand Bhavan, Nandgaon (about 8 km away) and Govardhan. Book a Mathura to Barsana taxi or a Vrindavan to Barsana taxi; from Delhi, a Delhi to Barsana taxi takes about 2.5–3 hours.
