Maan Mandir

Maan Mandir, located on the sacred hill of Barsana, is one of the most spiritually powerful and emotionally significant places in Braj. The temple is deeply connected to Srimati Radharani’s divine mood of “Maan” — a loving, playful sulking or affectionate displeasure toward Lord Krishna. The word “Maan” refers to that transcendental emotion where Radha expresses loving anger, and Krishna lovingly tries to pacify Her.

According to Braj’s divine history, this is the very place where Radharani would come in “Maan-bhaav” and sit alone, longing for Krishna while maintaining loving pride. Krishna would come here to console Her, request forgiveness, and lovingly persuade Her to return to Him. Their divine reunion at Maan Mandir represents the peak of pure love, surrender, and devotion.

Perched high on a hill, the temple offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Barsana and the surrounding forests, reminding devotees of the eternal pastimes of Radha and Krishna. Many saints and devotees visit this sacred temple to meditate upon Radha’s divine mood and to deepen their devotion.
