Radha Ras Bihari Temple

Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji Temple (the historic 1978 white Makrana marble sanctuary on Hare Krishna Land in Juhu) in suburban Mumbai (celebrated globally across Vedic philosophy and Krishna bhakti as the flagship temple founded by Srila Prabhupada), world famous for its three ornate marble altars, 100 foot soaring shikhara, ecstatic Hare Krishna kirtans, and an intensely devotional atmosphere), located in Mumbai in Maharashtra, stands as Mumbai's supreme Krishna pilgrimage temple.

Founded in 1978 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada amidst 4 acres of lush gardens just footsteps from Juhu Beach, this marble temple offers pilgrims and international travelers a sanctuary of peace.

It's the home of radiant deities adorned in elaborate daily silk dresses and fresh floral garlands, the grand central hall illuminated by Belgian chandeliers and ceiling frescoes of Vrindavan pastimes, the sacred quarters and museum of Srila Prabhupada, and an intensely peaceful, deeply uplifting temple ambiance filled with the resonant sounds of mridanga drums, karatala cymbals, the sweet fragrance of pure incense, and pure ghee sweets.

It represents a rich Maharashtra Vaishnava pilgrimage heritage apex, global bhakti culture, and spiritual lifestyle tourism where white marble architecture, Govinda's sattvic restaurants, Juhu Beach breezes, and Mumbai travel circuits unite in Radha Ras Bihari Temple.

Located at Hare Krishna Land along Juhu Church Road, it sits 3 km from Vile Parle and Santacruz Railway Stations, 6 km from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), 1 km from Juhu Beach, 500 meters from Prithvi Theatre, and 20 km from Gateway of India, easily reached by taxi, auto rickshaw, or suburban local train.

The Three Altars & Srila Prabhupada Heritage

The temple's marble sanctum features three separate altars: Sri Sri Gaura Nitai on the left, Sri Sri Radha Rasabihariji flanked by Lalita and Vishakha in the center, and Sri Sri Sita Rama, Lakshmana, and Hanuman on the right.

Visitors can explore Srila Prabhupada's personal quarters, preserved exactly as they were during the 1970s with his dictaphone, sacred manuscripts, and original translated Bhagavad Gita texts.

Truth is, joining the evening Sandhya Aarti as hundreds of voices chant the Maha Mantra in rhythmic devotion will leave your heart completely peaceful.
