In vrindavan is a very ancient Temple of Lord Salagrama Murthy. It is said that this temple even existed before Lord Chaitanya visited Vrindavan, and the Deities are from the time of the Alwars (2th BC century). The Big Deities certainly not (from observing the detail work) but if you see the utsava deity as well the Salagramas, you might come to the same conclusion. This temple is nowadays hidden as it where when the Muslims came in the 17th century and destroyed most of the big temples around. That place survived without damage, and one can feel while visiting the protecting Mood of the Lord. It is right on the Loi Bazaar and the main circus for material buisness, a ancient shopping mall for all kinds of items for pujas, cloths, beads, food etc.. everyone comes here to do his shopping.. but dont miss this temple... it is like Badrinatha, very steep steps bring you up to the temple, inside a house, and there you find these two big Salagrama shilas, Nara and Nara Narayana Silas. A bit below you have the Dasavatara salagramas and others as well. Very nice and special place.. you even allowed to make picture.. you see....?
The other picture is Krsna Balarama Deities... installed by Srila Prabhupada 1974, Ki Jayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
