Radha Krishna Vivah Sthali is a Hindu temple dedicated to Radha and Krishna. The temple site is present in the Bhandirvan forest of Mant constituency in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India. The site holds cultural importance as according to Sanskrit scriptures - Braham Vaivarta Purana and Garga Samhita, Radha and Krishna were married in Bhandirvan forest in the presence of Brahma, the creator, who also became the priest and solemnized their wedding ceremony.[1][2] Annually, this divine wedding is celebrated on the occasion of Phulera Dooj which usually falls in the month of February - March.

Near this temple, there is Venu Kup, a sacred well which was believed to be created by Krishna himself with his flute. There is also a pair of huge banyan trees beneath which Radha and Krishna's marriage ceremony took place. A temple dedicated to Balarama is also present inside the temple premises.
