The first Western connection with Vrindavan

Brahmananda Dasa: This painting, which was done by Jadurani, is a painting of Vrindavan. It's the Madan-Mohan Temple. This is one of the first paintings that Jadurani did and it's Madan-Mohan, Madan-Mohan Temple that Sanatan Goswami erected for the first Deity in Lord Chaitanya's movement. Prabhupada would give her a picture, and she would copy that into a painting. Prabhupada...he hung it right above his head, he sat underneath this. So it's the first Western connection, you might say, with Vrindavan, and here's the personification of Vrindavan sitting there.
