Rangji Temple is one of Vrindavan's most distinctive shrines because it brings South Indian temple form into the Braj landscape. The tall gopuram, spacious courtyards, and gold-plated pillar set it apart from the tighter old-town Krishna temples nearby.
The big moment is the Brahmotsava festival after Holi, when a huge wooden chariot is pulled from the temple toward its gardens. Even outside festival time, Rangji is worth seeing for the architectural contrast alone.
