This is the Govindaji Temple, the first major temple of Vrindavan, built in the 16th century. It is considered to be one of the greatest examples of medieval Indian architecture. The original temple was twice the height with a glorious tower, but it attracted the resentment of the Mogul emperor Aurangzeb in Delhi, who had the tower dismantled.
