Karoli (Karauli) Karoli is about 182km southeast of Jaipur and about 100km southwest of Mathura. It is a small town and is home to the important Madana-Mohan Temple. There is an interesting City Palace with a good collection of sculptures and paintings. Madana-Mohan
Temple The Deity receives a midday offering consisting of fifty-six dishes. Most of the preparations are sweet—malpura, sweet samosas, and other items. These Deities were worshiped by Sanatana Goswami in Vrindavan at the Madana-Mohan Temple. Maharaja Jai Singh brought Madana-Mohan to Jaipur from Vrindavan. His brother-in-law, Maharaja Gopal Singh, had a dream in which Madana-Mohan said “Take Me to Karoli.” He then told Maharaja Jai Singh about the dream and asked permission to bring Madana-Mohan to Karoli. Maharaja Jai Singh told him if he could distinguish Madana-Mohan from Govinda and Gopinatha, the two other main Deities of Jaipur, while blindfolded, then he could take the Deity. When Gopal Singh was blindfolded, he directly approached Madana-Mohan and touched his feet. Practicalities If you are going from Mumbai to Mathura or Delhi you could stop in the city of Gangapur, the train junction for Karoli, early in the morning. Gangapur is 50km from Karoli. Coming from Delhi or Mathura you can get down at the station in Hindaun. You can get trains to Mathura or Delhi from this station. The bus from the railway stations lets you off about two km from the temple. The easiest way to get to Karoli from Vrindavan is to go by taxi on the way to Jaipur. It will take you an extra two hours out of the way. If you leave Vrindavan by 8 am in the morning, you should get to Karoli for the noon arati.
