Shaligram Mandir in Vrindavan town
taken April 2005

Just off Loi bazaar on the right on the way to Radha Damodar temple is the Shaligram Mandir. Here's their sign above the entrance. One turns right under the arch and goes up the stairs to enter this wonderful little temple room.

The two main Salagrams on the altar are the size of a human head, there are many Salagrams just in front also. The pujari is very nice and helpful and will run through Who's Who for you - I'll leave you to go there to get that privilage.

From http://www.naturalnirvana.com/Braja-Mandala/Vrindavan/Sawaman-Shalagram-Temple.htm
The Deities of Rama, Laksman and Sita are worshipped in this temple. Rewa Naresh built this temple. There are two large shalagram shilas in this temple and that is why the temple is called Sawaman Shalagram Temple. These two shalagrams were brought from the bed of the Gandaki River in Bihar and are known to be the two biggest shalagrams in Vrindavana. This temple is close to the Radha Syamasundara Temple.

How To Get Here This temple is across the street and slightly down the road from the Syamasundara Temple. It is very close to Loi Bazaar and most shop keepers in Loi Bazaar will know where it is located. You first get on the street, across from Mahesh Cloth Shop, going toward the Radha Damodara temple. You then walk about 40m (120 ft) and this temple is on the right.

These deities and silas are from Brahmanda Ghat in Vrindabana, where Krishna showed Mother Yasoda His universal form.

This Goverdhana Sila is worshipped in the courtyard of the temple at Raval, the site of Srimati Radharani's appearance. He has beautiful eyebrows crafted form cowdung, which is unusual.
