Radha Madhava Temple Jayadeva Gosvami worshiped this Deity of Radha Madhava in the 12th century (around 1170). He is the author of Gita Govinda, which is one of, if not the most famous song about Radha and Krishna. He would worship his personal Deity of Radha Madhava with devotion on the bank of the Yamuna, in a thatched hut. This temple is said to have been built by Jayadeva 900 years ago, which would make it the oldest temple in Vrindavana. The well used by Jayadeva is in this temple compound and still provides good drinking water. The original Deity of Radha Madhava was moved to Jaipur in 1670, when Aurangzeb soldiers were destroying temples in Vrindavana. This Deity is now being worshiped at the Kanak Vrindavana Birla Mandir, which is a few kilometres outside of Jaipur. How To Get Here This red sandstone temple is located about 15m (50 ft) from the bank of the Yamuna at Keshi Ghata. It is an extension of the Bharatpur temple. The ground floor of the temple leads to Keshi Ghata, but the door is now closed. This temple is in poor repair.
