- CeslieBali, Indonesia88 contributionsA technicolor tribute to Krishna and his life.Wow is all I can say. A gorgeous temple and surrounding grounds depicting the story of Sri Krishna’s life. I think it’s best to visit at night as it’s all lit up and gorgeous. We enjoyed it all and truly were inspired by the beauty surrounding us.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 10, 2023
- Debashis TDehradun, India2,297 contributionsGo early in the eveningAll the religious places in Vrindavan close at 12:30 p.m. and reopen at 4:30 p.m. As every tourist adjusts their schedule to visit Prem Mandir in the evening, there is a heavy rush at that time. It may happen that, due to overcrowding, entry may be closed in the evening. So it is better to enter the temple at 5 p.m. so that you can enjoy the temple’s beauty during the day as well as at night. Entry is free, and photography is allowed inside. First, take a tour of the temple and see the statues depicting the activities of Lord Krishna. There is a food court selling snacks, tea, coffee, etc., at one corner of the temple premises. At the opposite corner, there is a shoe stand to keep your footwear free of charge. But still, people leave their shoes below the staircase, and later they are lying haphazardly everywhere. Near this, there is a souvenir shop. The temple has two stories. After visiting the temple, find a seating place facing the fountain show. When the light fades away from the sky, the temple will be lit with lights of different colors, which keep changing. The fountain show starts around 7:30 p.m. but is not that attractive. You may spend a few minutes and return before the end of the show to avoid the crowd.Visited April 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 10, 2023
- Kalpit0302Gurugram (Gurgaon), India183 contributionsGo after sunset.The temple is very beautiful always but it looks amazing in night when lights are on. It is the time when it is most crowded. Like other Mathura / Vrindavan temple, it also follow specific opening time and do check them before visiting there. You can't take your vehicle there specially on weekend so better to take e-rickshaw for your travel in Mathura / Vrindavan area. The temple complex also has shop to buy religious itemsVisited November 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 27, 2023
- Avnish ChauhanNew Delhi, India2,111 contributionsPeaceAmazing temple. The surrounding area is amazing. The temple is well maintained, neat & clean. Must visit the temple. This is not an ancient Indian temple of Shri Krishna, Its construction work began in January 2001 and the inauguration ceremony took place in February 2012.Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 4, 2024
- Ankosh LathMumbai, India133 contributionsWatch during eveningsVisit during evenings to enjoy the lighting. It depicts the entire Krishna bal Leela (childhood story of lord Krishna). The 1st floor can be skipped. It is more about promoting Prem guruji . If you believe him, you may consider visiting 1st floor, or else can be skipped. Campus is huge and there is place to keep shoes inside campus. A lot of local vendors can be seen outside the temple selling souvenirs. The campus is very big and clean. Drinking water and toilets are there inside campus premise.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 17, 2024

Modern structure made of marble looks grand from outside.
Inspite of having a huge area under the temple, they have not provided any parking inside for the convenience of visitors. There is a private parking outside on the other side of road charging Rs 50. After you park the car you have to cross a relatively high road divider meandering your way through a fast moving traffic as there is no pedestrian crossing or an opening in the divider in front of the entry gate. It is better to drop the children and seniors at the gate and then park the car as it may he difficult for them to cross the road divider.
There is a long walk from entry to the temple entry as one has to go all around the temple to enter it. All along there are statues depicting lord Krishna and his activity which look quite good. Before you go up the temple, there is a place to keep your shoes without any fee.
Climb up a few stairs to enter the temple which has two floors.
Guards posted at the entry only keep whistling and I did not see them to request people with out a mask to use the mask.
We attended aarti which starts at 11.45 AM. It is conducted in both the floors simultaneously. There is no social distancing inside the temple and majority of devotees are either without a mask or wearing it improperly. So take precautions yourself.
Outside and at the gate there is a kiosk selling prasad which is peda made by the temple itself.
There is a food court and a shop selling some clothes.
Temple remains closed from 12 noon to 4 PM.
Time required to visit including the aarti is 30-45 minutes.

The Architecture and the temple lightnings are just magnificent. It showcases the greatness of Lord Krishna and his wonders in the form of several statues that surround the temple. The Inside premises are very beautiful and the kirtans will eventually light up everything. It looks very beautiful especially during the night time. It has a spacious big entrance and the temple can be reached easily if you are staying in Vrindavan (by taking a auto-rickshaw)

The temple is famous in Vrindavan and is been visited by lots of devotees every day. The authority follow strict temple timings which are from 8:30am to 12:30pm and 4:30pm to 8:30pm. There is ample amount of paid parking slots near the temple entrance.
The complex in huge and have marble design. The carvings on the temple and inside the temple are amazing. One can take darshan and spend some time in this temple.
There are few statues and events portraited on life of Shri Krishna.

An excellent and most peaceful place to visit in Vrindavan This temple is spread over 20 acres and is extremely peaceful and pleasant to visit. It has the idols of Radha Krishan on the Ground Floor and Sita Ram on the first floor. Besides, beautiful life size rotating setups of Raas Lila, and a very large creation of Goverdhan Parvat. Also has a nice canteen. Be sure to visit after 7 pm when the lights go on. Plan to spend at least 2 hours in the place to enjoy it fully

Are foreigners allowed to enter temple premises and watch darshan??
Written March 18, 2022
No idea during Covid what are the timings.
But a few days back, few foreigners were found with Covid at the Banke Bihari Temple, so they closed the temple for 14 days.
Mathura temples, Prem Mandir, Banke Bihari temple etc are unusually crowded, and that place has no discipline, so better to avoid them till covid is over.\
Most mundane astrologers (different from Hora astrologers who see kundlis) tell us that vaccine should be in the country by 15 Sept and by 1 Nov Covid should more or less be over from the country
Better to visit after that. To see the various Mundane Astrology predictions search
