Vrindavan Chandrodaya Temple

About Temple

Vrindavan Chandrodaya Temple is an upcoming spiritual marvel in the holy city of Vrindavan, Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh. Set to be the tallest temple in the world at a height of 700 feet, this grand temple will stand as a tribute to Lord Krishna and his divine pastimes. Spread over 26 acres, the temple complex will host numerous religious festivals and celebrations, making it a major pilgrimage destination for devotees across the globe.

History of the temple

The foundation stone of Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir was laid in 2014, and since then, its construction has been progressing with the vision of creating a landmark that preserves and promotes the culture of Braj. The temple is expected to open its doors to devotees between 2024 and 2025, offering an unparalleled devotional and spiritual experience.

Significance of the temple

A unique capsule elevator will carry devotees to the top, where they can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the sacred Braj Mandal. The project is among the most ambitious and expensive temple constructions in India, symbolizing devotion combined with modern architectural excellence. The temple complex will feature replicas of the 12 forests of Braj—including Vrindavan, Nandgaon, Madhuvan, Kamyavan, and others—recreating the divine atmosphere described in ancient scriptures.

Architecture of the temple

The temple is being designed as a magnificent blend of traditional temple architecture and modern engineering. Rising to nearly 213 meters (700 feet) in height, the structure will redefine temple design in the modern era. The sprawling 26-acre complex will also include lush greenery, fruit orchards, artificial lakes, waterfalls, and scenic landscapes—transporting devotees to the spiritual world of Krishna’s Vrindavan.
