The historical trajectory of the Krishna Janmasthan site extends far beyond the Gupta period, with archaeological evidence suggesting an even earlier sacred presence. Excavations have unearthed remnants pointing to structures from the Mauryan or Shunga periods, indicating continuous veneration of this hallowed ground for millennia. A pivotal moment arrived with the construction of a grand temple during the Gupta era, possibly under the patronage of Chandragupta II, as corroborated by the Vasu inscription. This magnificent Keshavadeva temple was renowned across the subcontinent and even noted by the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang in the 7th century CE, underscoring its prominence as a major center of Vaishnava worship long before the medieval period. The site's narrative is profoundly marked by cycles of destruction and resurgence. Following the Gupta-era temple, another significant structure, potentially built by a Rashtrakuta ruler, stood until its devastating destruction by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1017-1018 CE. This event was a profound blow to the region's cultural fabric. Centuries later, the opulent temple erected by Raja Vir Singh Deo Bundela in 1615 CE, described in glowing terms by contemporary European travelers, represented a powerful revival of Hindu architectural and devotional traditions. Its subsequent demolition by Emperor Aurangzeb in 1670 CE and the construction of the Shahi Eidgah mosque adjacent to the birthplace marked another tragic chapter, shaping the complex's contested landscape for centuries.
