Kirti Mandir and Rangeeli Mahal
The two Barsana temples of Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj's mission, about a kilometre from Shriji on the Nandgaon road. Kirti Mandir is the one most people ask about: Radha as a child, in her mother's lap.
Radha in Kirti Maiya's lap
Radha's mother is Kirti Maiya, and this is her temple. The deity is the child Radha seated in her mother's lap. It was opened on 10 February 2019, Vasant Panchami, by Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat.
Kripalu Ji's Barsana ashram
Founded in 1996, Rangeeli Mahal is one of the main centres of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat: a large satsang hall painted with Radha Krishna's pastimes, gardens and fountains. The Parishat also runs a free charitable hospital in Barsana.
