Tridhara Milan Mandir, often referred to as the Second Vrindavan, is situated in Panchmura, under the Taldangra police station in the Bankura district of West Bengal. The temple derives its name from the intimate bond of love and devotion shared by the devotees with Lord Krishna and Radharani. The word "Tridhara" symbolizes the confluence of the three principal sects of Hinduism: Shaivism (devotion to Lord Shiva), Vaishnavism (worship of Radha-Krishna), and Shaktism (reverence for Goddess Kali), making it a spiritual melting pot. The temple was officially inaugurated on 1st July 2022, which, according to the lunisolar Hindu Bengali calendar, corresponds to the 16th of Ashar, an auspicious day marked by Rath Yatra celebrations. The main temple is dedicated to Radha-Krishna and also houses the idol of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Inside this principal structure, a smaller shrine enshrines Maa Kali. In front of the main temple stand two additional shrines — one dedicated to Lord Shiva in a meditative posture, and the other to Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. The walls of the Krishna temple are intricately engraved with stone replicas of Lord Krishna and the Dashavatars of Lord Vishnu. The temple complex consists of three shrines, and its architecture draws more inspiration from the Nagara style of North India rather than the traditional terracotta style seen in Bengal. The walls are adorned with detailed carvings depicting scenes from Krishna’s childhood, the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), the Kurukshetra discourse between Krishna and Arjuna, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s lilas, and Lord Narayana in Vaikuntha with Goddess Lakshmi. The front gate features a grand stone sculpture of Vishnu’s Vishwaroop. The shrine's outer structure is further embellished with narratives from the Krishna Purana. A central Tulsimancha is strategically placed halfway between two staircases leading up to the main temple, allowing worshippers from both sides to offer prayers. The ceiling is crafted from Shegun wood (teak) and features a magnificent chandelier. The floors are made of marble, and the deities are placed on wooden bedis. The idols of Radha-Krishna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are carved from Rajasthani marble, with Krishna’s idol in dark complexion and Radharani’s in white. Statues of common devotees holding khols and kartals are positioned across the temple complex, engaged in kirtan to spread the divine lilas of Krishna. The temple is open daily from morning until night, with a break from 2 PM to 4 PM, during which bhog is offered to the deities. Prasad is distributed to devotees for ₹51 per person. Initially prepared for 600 visitors per day, the temple now serves up to 2,000 devotees daily. People from both within and outside the district regularly visit the temple to seek blessings and experience its...

Slowly, gently let’s dive into the world,
The secret romantic world of Radha and Krishna.
Yellow garments covering Krishna’s body of blue,
Radha’s countenance blushing like the timid silver moon,
With the luring notes of Krishna’s magical flute.
Krishna, who steals from his sanguine eyes,
The precious love deep rooted in the heart inside.
When he stole a glance at Radha’s hazel eyes,
Desire and Love melted to one in two hearts,
And two souls entwined together to form a name ”Radha-Krishna”.
No one near but the white moon above,
In whose milky beams, Love bathes with the doves,
Witnesses the romantic melody of the tranquil night,
That dances out of Krishna’s flute, graceful and divine,
And on the tune of which Radha droops her eyes meekly.
On the leafy grass, Krishna on Radha’s lap,
In the dark infinite, stars on cloud’s arm,
No eyes have got the boon to get such blissful sight,
Only jingling of Radha’s anklets and notes from Krishna’s flute,
Can feel this spiritual romance of Radha and Madhava.
Krishna’s tempting eyes doing the trick,
Calling Radha’s tempted lips to give a kiss,
And like a desert nomad’s thirsty throat in an oasis,
Krishna’s lips keep on drinking the winy kiss from Radha’s lips,
Which drowns his heart in the flooding river of kiss.
This secret world of spiritual love and divine romance,
The sweet of whose nectar soothes the moon and the stars,
What wondrous beauty is hidden in its bosom ?
Where Radha and Madhava , in different conjoining postures,
Come together to fulfill every...
