The Chaar Dham Temple in Vrindavan covers an area of almost 11 acres, and one can find darshan in 4 major shrines: Shiv Dham, Radha Krishna Dham, Shani Dham, and Maa Vaishno Devi Dham, all without any travelling to the other parts of India. This spiritual temple was created under the vision of Dr JC Chaudhry. The Chaar Dham temple is the legacy of their Bhakti and devotion.

Walking the Sacred Grounds: The Chaar Dham

Shiv Dham

Bringing the serenity of Shiva through the shrine of Shiv Dham with a serene meditation-like atmosphere, carvings in stone and peaceful devotion – the place to find inner peace and cure.

Radha Krishna Dham

It is a centre of divine love, and it is beautifully built, with modern architecture with  a vaulted dome, 3D portrayals of Raas Leela and devotional music, along with the stunning impression of Radha and Krishna in the murti form that attracts the devotees into deep surrender and love.

Shani Dham

This dham devoted to Lord Shani is supposed to make people think a lot about karma, justice, and lessons that are given in life and the energy of discipline and introspection.

Maa Vaishno Devi Dham

This is the first made dham of the Chaar Dham temple, a dham with a shining protection and maternal love. It gives believers a feeling of divine protection through the expression of Vaishno Devi beings present.

Journey Flow

1. Arrival in Early Morning: Arriving early in the morning at NH at Gate 2 brings in the cool ambience and a peaceful atmosphere.
2. Morning Aarti and Darshan: Always participate in or witness the melodic Aarti at every solemn shrine of Shiv Dham, love-filled chants of Radha-Krishna, reflection-filled rituals of Shani Dham, and protective force of Vaishno Devi.
3. Inner Stillness at Radha Krishna Dham: Take a break under the grand architecture on the dome; the 3D life like sculptures and the prayers of silence do leave you emotional and spiritual thoughts.

5. Walk Around: Walk through the landscape premises, tie mannat threads, worship and rest in the seating area and enjoy prasadam. To end your visit, take some time to dip your feet in Yamuna ghats, unless your time is short.
