The Palace of Gold was built in New Vrindaban (“vrin-DAH-buhn”) by worshippers of this figure. A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (“BUCK-thee-vay-DAHN-tuh SWAH-mee pruh-boo-PAH-duh”) founded a sect that primarily worships this figure called ISKCON (“ISS-kon”). Janmashtami (“juhn-MAHSH-tuh-mee”) celebrates the birth of this figure in a prison cell, and the raslila dance honors this figure and his consort Radha.
