आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

A temple built in 1590 in Brindavan, the
town believed to be the god Krishna’s
childhood home. The temple is dedicated
to Krishna in his form as the “Divine
Cowherd.” From an architectural perspective, the temple is unique for its
vaulted ceiling, which is seldom found
in Hindu temples. The temple’s interior
and exterior are also notable for their
almost complete lack of figural ornamentation, which is extremely unusual.
The temple is close to the major road
connecting Agra and Delhi. These are
the two major political centers of the
Moghul empire (1525–1707), whose
rulers were Muslims. Since many orthodox Muslims believe that figural representations are idolatrous, particularly in
places of worship, the temple’s austere
style may have been an attempt to avoid
inciting Muslim iconoclasm. There is
evidence of conflict between Hindus
and Muslims at this site since the few
figures inside the temple, carved into
the lintels of door and windows, have
had their heads broken off. See also
