Pagal Baba was a revered saint named Shri Ramlal Ji Maharaj, who was known for his deep devotion, selflessness, and saintly behavior that led locals to affectionately call him "Pagal Baba" (meaning ‘Mad Saint’ in devotion). The temple was built under his guidance and stands today as a symbol of unconditional bhakti and service to society.

Pagal Baba Temple is known for its distinctive white marble structure and its multi-storey architecture — it has 11 floors, each depicting different forms and stories of Lord Krishna and other deities. From the top floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Vrindavan. The temple also houses beautifully sculpted idols and an atmosphere of peace and devotion.

Pagal Baba Temple is located on the Mathura–Vrindavan Road, around 1.5 km from Prem Mandir and easily accessible by auto-rickshaws or local taxis from anywhere in Mathura or Vrindavan. It’s a common stop in most Vrindavan sightseeing tours and pilgrimage circuits.

The temple is generally open from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Devotees can attend morning and evening aartis, and the temple becomes especially vibrant during Janmashtami, Holi, and other Krishna-related festivals. The peaceful vibe and devotional chants make it a great spot for meditation and quiet prayer.

No, there is no entry fee to visit Pagal Baba Temple. Tourists and devotees are welcome to climb to all accessible floors, though upper levels may occasionally be restricted during special pujas or maintenance. The top floors offer breathtaking views of Vrindavan town and nearby temples, making it a must-visit for spiritual seekers and photographers alike.
