Shahji Temple

When the founders of this temple died, they did not want anyone to carry their bodies on their shoulders, so they arranged that their bodies were dragged through the dust of Vrindavana. They also did not want their bodies burned, because the smoke of the burning bodies would leave the Braja area. Also if their ashes were thrown in the Yamuna, they would eventually be carried by the Yamuna out of Braja. The samadhis of the two brothers who established this temple are on either side of the temple, near the entrance. These two brothers had pictures of themselves engraved on the floor of the temple, near the entrance. This was so people would walk on them, when they entered the temple, and put the dust of Vrindavana on them.
