About Radha Vallabh
Shri Radha Vallabh Temple is the main temple of the Radha Vallabh Sampradaya, started by Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu in the 16th century. Here Radha Rani is worshipped as the main deity; she is represented by a crown (gaddi) next to Shri Radha Vallabh Ji.
The temple is famous for its "samaj gayan" – devotional singing of the saint-poets of the tradition – and its festivals in the Radha Vallabh style. It is a short walk from Banke Bihari Temple.

What makes Radha Vallabh special
In the Radha Vallabh tradition, Radha Rani is worshipped as the main deity. She is represented by a gaddi (seat) with a crown next to Shri Radha Vallabh Ji. The songs of the saint-poets of the tradition are sung in a group style called samaj gayan – if you can, stay for one session; it is one of the most beautiful experiences in Vrindavan.
The temple follows its own festival calendar. Hit Harivansh Jayanti and Radhashtami are the biggest days, and Holi and Jhulan are celebrated in a special way.
Planning your visit
The temple is a few minutes' walk from Banke Bihari Temple, so most visitors combine the two. The lanes are narrow and crowded, so go on foot from the parking and keep your belongings close. Photography of the deity is not allowed. Morning darshan before the noon closing, or the evening samaj gayan, are the best times.
By taxi
From Mathura Junction the old town of Vrindavan is about 12–17 km (approx.). Ask the driver to drop you at the parking nearest to Banke Bihari; from there you can walk to Banke Bihari, Radha Vallabh, Nidhivan and Seva Kunj in one go. Book a Mathura to Vrindavan taxi or a full Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car.
