Vrindavan
In Vrindavan, the devotees mainly stay in dharmasalas, (simple accommodation for pilgrims) near the Rupa Sanatana Matha in Seva Kunja, which is the heart of Vrindavan. There are a few hotels in this area. They are about a 15 minute rickshaw drive from Seva Kunja. Most hotels are near ISKCON. We have listed a few hotels for you to choose from.
During Kartika, if you would like to book a room in a home belonging to a local resident, or a room in a simple guest house near Gopinath Bhavan, then you can contact Mani-mati dasi at
During the Kartika festival we have arranged dharmasalas (simple lodgings for pilgrims) near Gopinath Bhavan and Sri Giridhari Gaudiya Math, where you can set up your sleeping mat and mosquito net in a room with other devotees. At the Math at Govardhan there is also facility for tents.
Sri Sri Rupa Sanatan Gaudiya Math
Our Sri Sri Rupa Sanatan Gaudiya Math is in Seva Kunja area, near Imli-tala. You can rent a simple room there outside Kartika season, have darsana of Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji, and honor the delicious prasadam. You can also attend the temple programs, consisting of aratikas, lectures and kirtanas.
Tell the driver to go to the Parikrama Marg and to stop just before Imli-tala. From there you can take the back lane to the temple, which is only 2 minutes walk. The Seva Kunja area is monkey-central, and they love to steal spectacles, so it is best to remove your glasses before getting out of the car. Temple manager: BV Sridhara Maharaja or Jayadeva Maharaja Tel: 0565-2443270.
Sri Gopinath Bhavan
Gopinath Bhavan is on the Parikrama Marg (road), which is next to Imli-tala. Gopinath Bhavan is large and beautifully carved out of red stone, so it is not easy to miss. From the entrance way one can see the beautiful altar and the deities, Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha. You can attend the temple’s aratikas, lectures and kirtanas. Prasadam meals are available for a donation.
