Rangji Temple in Mathura Vrindavan

Rangji Temple

The Rangji Temple, also known as Sri Rangnath Ji Mandir, is a magnificent blend of South and North Indian architectural styles, making it one of the most unique temples in Vrindavan. Built in 1851 by Seth Govind Das and Seth Radhakrishna under the guidance of Sri Rangadeshik Swamiji, the temple is dedicated to Lord Ranganatha (a reclining form of Lord Vishnu) and his consort Goda Devi (Andal). The temple's Dravidian-style gopuram (gateway tower), intricate carvings, and expansive courtyards reflect the grandeur of South Indian temple architecture. The sanctum sanctorum houses the deity in a reclining posture on the serpent Adisesha, symbolizing cosmic balance and rest.

This temple is a prominent stop in many Mathura Vrindavan Tour Packages From Delhi, offering devotees a serene environment to experience traditional rituals and festivals. The temple's daily rituals, including the Mangala Aarti at 5:30 AM and Evening Aarti at 6:00 PM, provide a spiritually enriching experience. The annual Brahmotsavam festival, featuring a grand procession of the deity on a wooden chariot, attracts pilgrims from all over the country.

Rangji Temple, also known as Sri Ranganatha (Rangnath) Temple, is one of the largest and most architecturally unique temples in Vrindavan. It is dedicated to Lord Ranganatha, a reclining form of Lord Vishnu, along with Goddess Lakshmi. The temple is famous for its South Indian Dravidian-style gopuram (tower), tall stone pillars, and its combination of South and North Indian temple traditions, making it a rare and spiritually significant site in the Braj region.

Rangji Temple is situated on Rangji Road in Vrindavan, about 2.5 km from the ISKCON Temple and close to major temples like Banke Bihari and Prem Mandir. It is easily accessible by auto-rickshaw or private cab from Mathura Junction or anywhere in Vrindavan. It’s commonly included in local sightseeing tours.
