History[edit | edit source]
The concept for Kirti Mandir was envisioned by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. The foundation stone was laid by him in 2006. The temple was inaugurated on 10 February 2019, coinciding with Vasant Panchami.[1][2] According to local traditions, the temple is situated on the site where Radha Rani spent her childhood. The temple is currently managed by Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat.[3][4]
Architecture[edit | edit source]
Kirti Mandir occupies an area of approximately 80,000 square feet. The architectural design incorporates elements of both Nagara and Dravidian styles. The temple is constructed using Italian marble and features 22 golden kalash crowning its domes.[5]
Deities[edit | edit source]
The primary deity enshrined in the temple is Radha Rani depicted as a child, approximately five years old, seated on the lap of her mother, Kirti Maiya.[6] This representation is considered unique, as it is a prominent temple dedicated to Radha's mother. The temple also houses images of Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram.[3][7]
