According to popular folklore, Shri Radha Madan Mohan temple in Vrindavan is 5000 years old. It was first believed to be constructed by that the great-grandson of Krishna - Vajranabh. However, with the passage of time, deities were lost. Later, the deity of Madan Mohan was discovered at the base of an old banyan tree by Advaita Acharya, when he visited Vrindavan. He entrusted the worship of Madana Mohan to his disciple, Purusottama Chaube, who then gave the deity to Sanatana Goswami.[8]
According to historical sources, it was in 1580 AD that this temple was rebuilt under the guidance of Sri Sanatana Goswami by a Multan trader Kapur Ram Das. As the temple was invaded by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1670 AD, the original idol of Madan Mohan was secretly shifted to Jaipur by King Jai Singh overnight before the attack of Aurangzeb on Vrindavan and Mathura temples.[9] Later, the deities are shifted to Karauli by King Gopal Singh.[7] The original deities of Shri Radha Madan Mohan temple are presently installed in Madan Mohan temple of Karauli, Rajasthan.
