Gautam Rishi Ashram

Gautam Rishi is said to have performed austerities here thousands of years ago. This place is next to Varaha Ghata. There is a temple here with Radha Krishna Deities and a murti of Gautam Rishi, who is to the right of the altar. Srila Prabhupada says in Sri Caitanya Caritamrita that his gotra, or family line, dates back to Gautama Rishi.

How To Get Here This temple is about 50m (150 feet) from where the parikrama path turns right toward downtown Vrindavana, about a 10-minute walk from the ISKCON temple. There is a big banyan tree to the left of the temple entrance. The walls in front of the temple are in a shambles and it is hard to tell at first that this is a temple. If you look through the outer doorway there is a sign over the temple door with a cakra and conchshell on it.
