History
This temple started way back in the 1500s. A respected holy man named Sanatan Goswami, who followed Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, guided its creation. Some people say that Lord Madan Mohan told a trader to build a temple here. But, Sanatan Goswami was the one who carefully watched over the building of the Madan Mohan Temple.
In 1670 AD, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb attacked. At that time, King Jai Singh wanted to keep the original statue of Madan Mohan safe. So, he secretly moved it to Jaipur during the night. This was before Aurangzeb attacked the temples in Vrindavan and Mathura. Later, King Gopal Singh moved these holy statues to Karauli. Now, the real statues of the Shri Radha Madan Mohan temple is in the Madan Mohan temple in Karauli, Rajasthan. Then, in 1748 AD, people made a replica of the original statue. This replica was put in the Madan Mohan temple in Vrindavan.
