Sri Madana Gopala
Information – Sri Madana Gopala was worshipped by Nīlāmbara Cakravartī, the grandfather of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and Saci Mata, the mother of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This makes the deity at least 538 years old, as Mahaprabhu was born in 1486.
The deities of Nilambara Cakravarti & Srimati Sacidevi were installed in 1986.

All glories to Radha and Madana-gopala, the treasure of Sri Advaita Acarya’s heart!
(Jaya Radha Krsna Giti)
Lord Madana Gopāla, the chief Deity of Vṛndāvana, is the enjoyer of the rāsa dance and is directly the son of the King of Vraja. He enjoys the rāsa dance with Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Śrī Lalitā and others. He manifests Himself as the Cupid of Cupids. “Wearing yellow garments and decorated with a flower garland, Lord Kṛṣṇa, appearing among the gopīs with His smiling lotus face, looked directly like the charmer of the heart of Cupid.” With Rādhā and Lalitā serving Him on His two sides, He attracts the hearts of all by His own sweetness.
(CC Adi 5.212 – 5.215)
