BRINDABAN, a town of British India, in the Muttra dis trict of the United Provinces, on the right bank of the Jumna, 6 m. N. of Muttra. Pop. (1931) 17,148. Brindaban is one of the most popular places of pilgrimage in India, being one of the group of Vaishnavite holy places, associated with the cult of Krishna as a youthful shepherd. It contains bathing-stairs, tanks and wells, and a great number of handsome temples, of which the finest is that of Govind Deva, a cruciform vaulted building of red sand stone, dating from 159o. The river is unfortunately shifting away from the town and leaving the bathing-ghats high and dry.
