Presentation Transcript

  1. Shri Dhruv Narayan Temple, Madhuvan

  2. Introduction to Madhuvan • Madhuvan is the first forest among the twelve sacred forests (vanas) of Brajmandal. • The BrajYatra begins from this holy site, located near Shri Mathura. • Also known as DhruvTeela, this place holds immense mythological and spiritual significance.

  3. Introduction to Madhuvan • In Satyuga, young Dhruv performed deep penance here on the instructions of Sage Narada, and was blessed with the divine vision of Lord Narayan. • In Tretayuga, Shatrughna, the younger brother of Lord Ram, meditated in Madhuvan after defeating the demon Lavanaasur. • In Dwaparyuga, Lord Krishna would often come to this forest with his cowherd friends for grazing cows (Gaucharan).

  4. The Ancient Shri Dhruv-Narayan Temple The original temple was built on a 30 feet high mud mound and had deteriorated over time. Recognizing its importance, the BrijVikas Trust initiated restoration work on the auspicious occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami in Samvat 2064.

  5. Restoration and Construction • Three new sanctum sanctorums (GarbhaGrihas) were established: • Shri Giriraj Ji • Shri Dhruv Narayan Bhagwan • Shri GarudGovindBhagwan • An old Shiva temple was renovated, and a new Hanuman temple was also built. • A kitchen and accommodation rooms were constructed for preparing and offering Bhog Prasad.

  6. Infrastructure & Amenities • A Jagmohan Hall was built in front of the temples to accommodate around 200 devotees. • A retaining wall was constructed around the mound to protect the temples, supported by additional structural walls. • Sweet water pipeline laid from 1 km away, with lush gardens developed around the temple complex.

  7. Architectural Highlights • The temples were adorned with sky-high shikhars (spires). • Stonework was used throughout to ensure durability and aesthetic beauty. • Due to its elevated position, the temple interiors feel naturally air-conditioned and serene.
