Sakshi Gopal Temple / साक्षी गोपाल का मन्दिर

West of the Shri Govind Deo Temple are the ruins of the Sakshi Gopal Temple. This ancient deity of Gopal went to Vidyanagar to act as a witness (sakshi).
Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita narrates the amazing story of Shri Gopalji, who is loving to His devotees (bhakta-vatsala).
In this case, this refers to an older and a younger brahmana. Upon arriving at Vidyanagar, Shri Gopalji testified before the assembled people.
He said, "The older brahmana was very pleased with the service of the younger brahmana, and promised to give his daughter in marriage to him.
I am the witness to this statement." In time, this deity went to Shri Jagannath Puri and is now present in Satyavadipura, about twelve miles from Puri.
Now, Satyavadipura is famous by the name of Sakshi Gopal. Since then, the temple of Sakshi Gopal in Vrindavan has been deserted, and today only its ruins remain.
