Vrindavan: The realm of the heart
A two day tour to discover Krishna
About
Walk with us to Vrindavan, the magical landscape of Hari and Radha’s heart. This 2-day tour of Vrindavan (135 kms. away from Delhi), the centre of Krishna pilgrimage and Vaishnavism in Braj, will allow us the darshan of several forms of Krishna, deities dating from the classical ancient era upto the glorious light-maps of the Gaudiya tradition (16th century).
