Radha Rani Temple Information (Ladli Ji Maharaj Temple)
Shri Radha Rani was born on the 8th day of the bright fortnight, and on this day the maha aarti that takes place is the most auspicious and special. 56 different types of bhog are prepared for Shri Radha Ji. Although I did not visit the temple on that day, the aarti and the aura overall were quite pleasant. As soon as I entered and until I stepped out, my mind was extremely relaxed with the peace and positivity that filled these walls. To all the Radha Krishna devotees out there, I strongly suggest visiting Barsana’s Laadli temple at least once in your lifetime. Getting the darshan of Shri Radha Krishna is one of the most peaceful experiences. Radha Ji was dressed so beautifully that I couldn’t take my eyes off the deities.

My Experience at Radha Rani Temple Barsana
I recently visited the Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana, Mathura. This temple is the most visited pilgrimage site in Barsana. As I began my journey from Mathura, which was about 50 km from here. I could hear peaceful music with flute and dhol as I climbed about 225 stairs for the darshan. It is about 250 meters high. The experience of the scenery from the hill of the entire Barsana was enchanting. The crowd here was comparatively larger than that at Kirti Mata Temple.
