Vrindavan has an ancient past, associated with Hindu culture and history, and was established in the 16th and 17th centuries as a result of an explicit treaty between Muslims and Hindu Emperors, and is an important Hindu pilgrimage site since long.

Who made Vrindavan?

But as we know it today, the area of Braj was realised by several 15th and 16th century Bhakti saints, the most well-known of whom was Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (born 1486). He became a devotee of Krishna and came to Braj on a pilgrimage to see the sites associated with his beloved Krishna in the year 1515.

How is Vrindavan related to Krishna?

Vrindavan was where Krishna was born, lived his precocious childhood, and grew into the attractive and intoxicating youth who would lure young maidens into the forest to participate in his divine play and circle dance.
