Shahji Temple stands out for its elegant white marble pillars, high ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. Inside, the Basanti Kamra (a special hall opened on select days) is richly decorated, and the deity of Radha–Krishna is worshipped with refined, royal-style opulence. The temple feels like a fusion of palace and shrine, attracting visitors for both darshan and architecture.
About this place
History & highlights
The temple was built in the 19th century by Shah Kundan Lal, a wealthy jeweller at the royal court of Lucknow. Desiring to express his devotion in Vrindavan, he commissioned this marble temple with elaborate interiors, reflecting Lucknowi taste in a Braj setting. Over time, Shahji Temple became famous not only for its deities but for its artistic and architectural grandeur, showing how later patrons continued to enrich Vrindavan’s sacred landscape even after the era of the original Goswami temples.
