Saraikella - Radhakrishna Mandir

The building of Jagarnath temple at Jagarnath ushered in a new epoch in the religious history of Bihar, particularly in the present Ranchi district. Realizing the potentialities of congregational worship in temples, many philanthropists entered the arena and started erecting many temples dedicated to several gods and goddesses. Their zeal for spiritual regeneration of the tribals, who formed the majority of population in this region is highly commendable and deserves wholehearted veneration. It was just at the time of building Jagarnath temple, many devout, rich and religious minded people built an elegant mandir at Saraikella of Singbhum district and installed the much popular and widely adored Radha Krishna image with unparalleled religious fervour. Its religious activities won the admiration of the people of this area and they are participating in all the devotional activities, particularly during the annual functions, and are making them the national events. Their lavish expenditure for the celebration of festivals and active participation brought many colourful laurels to the state. The devotional consciousness ignited by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu touched the pinnacle of glory by many temples built from time to time in this region inhabited by tribals mostly.

It lies in the Chota Nagpur district of Bihar, accessible by four wheelers from Ranchi.
