Jugal Kishore Temple, also known as Kesi Ghata Temple, is located on the banks of the Yamuna River in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. It is situated at the famous Kesi Ghat, a sacred spot where Lord Krishna is believed to have bathed after killing the demon Kesi. The temple is easily accessible by foot or rickshaw from other major temples in Vrindavan.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha, worshipped here as Jugal Kishore, meaning "The Divine Couple." It is historically significant because it is one of the oldest temples in Vrindavan, built in the 16th century by the King of Orchha, and is closely linked with the leelas (divine pastimes) of Lord Krishna, especially the slaying of the demon Kesi.

Jugal Kishore Temple is known for its classic red sandstone construction, tall shikhara (spire), and traditional Mughal-Rajput architectural blend. Its majestic presence by the Yamuna River adds to its serene charm, making it a popular site for photographers, pilgrims, and those interested in heritage architecture.

The temple is generally open from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Aarti is performed during morning and evening hours, and devotees often combine darshan with a holy bath at Kesi Ghat, especially during the early morning when the riverside atmosphere is peaceful and spiritually uplifting.

The best time to visit is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant for walking along the ghats and attending temple rituals. Kartik month, especially during the Kartik Purnima, is considered highly auspicious. Early mornings and sunset hours at Kesi Ghat offer a magical experience with Yamuna aarti, bhajans, and soft temple bells echoing along the river.
