page 126: "During a period of initial vandalism many Buddhist and Hindu centers were destroyed, and mosques were build in their place. It is not however only large temples were destroyed, so were the small village temples. For most of the period of the Muslim rule, there was a ban on building new temples and rebuilding the old in the regions the Muslims controlled. The ban was lifted by Akbar, but this was a considerably short respite. It was then when one of the most original and strikingly beautiful temples of northern India was built. It was that of Govindaji at Vrindaban. It could not be finished, but like the Unfinished Symphony of Schubert it remains a great work of art. The ban on temples was re-imposed, and a period of iconoclastic fury was witnessed under Shah Jahan (himself the son of a Hindu princess) and Aurangzeb, when even the rebuilt temples were again taken down. Its only with the rise of Maratha power in the latter half of 18th century that the destruction ceased and rebuilding began. During all the centuries, all over northern India only ruins of the temples were evident. But faithful Hindus did not forget the houses of their deities. When at the beginning of the eighteenth century the Jesuit priest and mathematician Tiffenthaler traveled from the west coast to India's Malwa he saw in the evenings the flickering lights of the earthen lamps placed in these ruins by the villagers at some risk to themselves" Hinduism: A Religion to Live By (Oxford India Paperbacks) by Nirad C.

So the Govinda Deva temple at Vrindabana, erected in an era when the when the liberal policy of Akbar encouraged construction of splendid temples, is in the form of a Greek cross with the length and breadth of the nave being one hundred feet. In this shrine the limitations of the floor area, if compared with those of larger Christian churches of the Western world, is made up for by the wealth of decoration which has been lavished on every inch of the surface.
