Overview

About Oasis by Shri Divine, Barsana

Oasis by Shri Divine is a gated residential plotted community on Govardhan Road in Barsana, the sacred birthplace of Shri Radha Rani, in the heart of the Braj region of Mathura district. Developed by Shri Divine Group and now in pre-launch, Oasis by Shri Divine offers 125 sq yd and 170 sq yd plots in Barsana, starting at ₹45,000 per sq yd. At the base rate that is roughly ₹56.25 Lakhs for a 125 sq yd plot and ₹76.5 Lakhs for a 170 sq yd plot, which makes it an accessible way to own land in Braj for devotees, NRIs and families from Delhi NCR who are searching for plots in Barsana, plots in Braj or plots near Vrindavan.

What makes Oasis by Shri Divine different is its purpose and its choice of sizes. It is planned only for plots: you buy the land, then design and build the home you want, at the pace and budget you choose. A 125 sq yd plot (about 1,125 sq ft) suits a comfortable independent house, a retirement home or a devotional retreat, while a 170 sq yd plot (about 1,530 sq ft) gives room for a larger family home with parking, a garden and space to grow. Basic plotted-community amenities are planned as per the developer layout, such as a gated entry, internal roads, street lighting, drainage, water and electricity provision and green areas, subject to the final approved plan.

The location is the main reason buyers look at plots in Barsana. The project is on Govardhan Road, close to the Radha Rani Temple belt, within reach of Govardhan, Nandgaon, Vrindavan and Mathura, and on the Delhi, Palwal, Greater Noida, Agra and Yamuna Expressway corridor that connects Braj to the NCR and to Noida International Airport at Jewar. For buyers comparing plots in tier 2 cities of Uttar Pradesh, Barsana adds something most do not have: a pilgrimage identity, rising visitor numbers and a state-backed development plan.

The timing is equally important. Barsana is at the start of a public-investment cycle: the Uttar Pradesh government has announced a ₹30,000 crore master plan for the Braj region, the Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad is upgrading parikrama routes, hills, parking and civic infrastructure, the Barsana ropeway has increased pilgrim footfall, and Noida International Airport at Jewar began commercial flights on 15 June 2026. Because Oasis is in pre-launch, buyers can register their interest now to receive the layout plan, price sheet and RERA number once issued. UP RERA registration is pending, and we recommend confirming the registration, approved layout and title documents before making any payment.

Who Should Buy

Investment Analysis

A balanced, expert read on this address.

Investment Highlights

Why Invest

Barsana is moving from a day-trip pilgrimage stop to a destination town where people want to own land and stay. The Mathura-Vrindavan region recorded about 7.9 crore visitors in 2023 according to an EDII study supported by UP Tourism, against roughly 76.8 lakh in 2018. Plots in Barsana and plots in Braj benefit directly from this spill-over, because the Radha Rani Temple, Kirti Mandir, Priya Kund and the Ashtasakhi sacred sites are now part of a wider Braj circuit that the state is actively developing.

Public investment is the second driver. The state has announced a ₹30,000 crore plan for the overall development of Braj, the 2025-26 state budget earmarked ₹240 crore for Braj tourism and heritage, and the Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad is executing pilgrim facilities, hill restoration, parking and sanitation projects in and around Barsana. Connectivity is also improving: Noida International Airport at Jewar began commercial flights on 15 June 2026, and the Yamuna Expressway links the NCR to Mathura, Vrindavan and Agra, which brings plots near the Yamuna Expressway, plots near Mathura, plots near Agra and plots near Greater Noida into the same buyer conversation.

The third driver is the tier 2 story. Cities such as Mathura, Vrindavan and Agra, and temple towns like Barsana, are attracting plot buyers who are priced out of NCR cities and want land in a place with a clear identity and growing infrastructure. A plot of 125 to 170 sq yd at ₹45,000 per sq yd has an entry ticket of about ₹56.25 Lakhs to ₹76.5 Lakhs at the base rate, well below the cost of a villa, which is why early buyers see plots in Barsana as a long-term land and lifestyle play. Land is finite, and organised, gated plotted communities with clear layouts are still few.

As with any real estate purchase, returns are not guaranteed. Oasis by Shri Divine is in pre-launch and not yet RERA registered, so buyers should verify the registration, approvals and title independently, and decide only after the RERA number is issued.

Investment Potential

Oasis by Shri Divine is a pre-launch plotted community in Barsana with two plot sizes, 125 sq yd and 170 sq yd, priced from ₹45,000 per sq yd. At the base rate that is about ₹56.25 Lakhs and ₹76.5 Lakhs per plot, a ticket that sits well below the cost of a villa and comfortably inside a budget of ₹1 crore for plots in Braj. Because the project is still in pre-launch and not yet RERA registered, the points to verify are the registration, the approved layout, the total number of plots, land title, development charges and the delivery timeline of roads and services. Buyers should wait for the registration, verify documents independently and plan for a medium to long holding period.

Future Appreciation

Appreciation drivers for plots in Barsana include the ₹30,000 crore Braj master plan, pilgrim infrastructure under the Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad, the Barsana ropeway, and Noida International Airport at Jewar, which began commercial flights on 15 June 2026 and is linked to Mathura and Agra by the Yamuna Expressway. Land in a planned, gated layout near a pilgrimage town has a finite supply, but returns depend on delivery, demand and regulation and are not guaranteed.

Rental Yield

A plot does not earn rent on its own, so returns come mainly from land appreciation or from building a home or a stay on it, subject to the approved layout, land-use rules and local building norms. No verified yield data exists yet for plots in Barsana. Treat any income or appreciation figure as unverified until the developer and local authority terms are confirmed in writing.

Market Commentary

Mathura-Vrindavan recorded about 7.9 crore visitors in 2023 per an EDII study, public spending on parikrama routes, hills, parking and sanitation is under way in Barsana, and national hotel brands are beginning to sign hotels in Mathura. Plot demand in the Braj belt is led by devotees, NRIs and NCR families who want land near a temple town, and by buyers looking at plots in tier 2 cities of Uttar Pradesh, while organised, registered plotted communities with clear layouts are still few.

Government Investment & Development

What is being built around Barsana.

₹30,000 Crore Braj Master Plan

On Janmashtami 2025 (16 August 2025) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced a ₹30,000 crore plan for the overall development of the Braj region, covering pilgrimage sites across Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Gokul, Baldev, Govardhan and Radha Kund, with a focus on facilities, security and heritage.

118 Projects Worth ₹646 Crore

At the same event the foundation stone was laid for 118 projects worth ₹646 crore in Mathura-Vrindavan, including parikrama route beautification, kund renovation, new entrance gates, connectivity upgrades and water conservation.

Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad

The UP Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad, created under the 2017 Braj Niyojan Act, is the special-purpose authority for Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana and Govardhan. The 2025-26 state budget earmarked ₹240 crore for Braj tourism and heritage development.

Barsana Hills Eco-Restoration

Three hill projects near Barsana - Rakauli, Dhabhala and Sakhi Giri - have been approved as part of ten proposed Braj tourism projects worth about ₹206 crore, restoring native Krishna-era trees and improving pilgrim experience.

Barsana Pilgrim Infrastructure

The Braj Development Plan proposes a pedestrian-friendly entrance, parking, upgraded Parikrama paths of about 4.2 km, sewage treatment, water treatment, solid-waste management, a new inter college and visitor parking with a convention centre near Priya Kund.

Barsana Ropeway

Opened in August 2024 by the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority, the ropeway to Radha Rani Temple ended the need to climb more than 200 steps and has significantly increased footfall.

Noida International Airport

Inaugurated on 28 March 2026 with commercial flights from 15 June 2026. Phase 1 capacity is 12 million passengers a year, scalable to 70 million, and the Yamuna Expressway links it to Mathura and Vrindavan.

Hospitality Pipeline

IHG has signed a 115-room Holiday Inn Mathura, targeted for early 2030, showing that national hotel brands now see Braj as a supply-short market.

Hospitality Demand Gap

Barsana receives pilgrims in the tens of thousands on busy days, and festivals such as Lathmar Holi and Radhashtami push numbers far higher. Yet the town is still served mostly by dharamshalas, basic guest houses and a handful of small hotels, and many visitors return to Mathura or Vrindavan to sleep. Local market assessments put the daily requirement in the Barsana belt at around 500 rooms, with almost no organised hotel supply to match it.

Road, ropeway, parking and civic upgrades have now begun, and the Braj master plan commits ₹30,000 crore to the wider region. When infrastructure improves before accommodation and land supply do, demand for well-located plots rises. Buyers of Oasis by Shri Divine can use a plot to build a home or a devotional retreat, or hold the land for appreciation. Any stay, guest-house or commercial use is subject to the approved layout, land-use rules and local building norms, so confirm permitted use with the developer and a legal adviser before planning it.

Appreciation Scope

Infrastructure first

Roads, parikrama routes, parking, sanitation and water projects are being executed before large-scale private supply arrives.

Rising footfall

Mathura-Vrindavan visitors grew from roughly 76.8 lakh in 2018 to about 7.9 crore in 2023, and Barsana daily arrivals now mirror those of other major Braj centres.

Air and expressway access

Jewar airport and the Yamuna Expressway bring Delhi, Greater Noida and Noida buyers within a long day trip of Braj, and international services are expected to follow.

Finite land supply

Gated, planned plotted communities near the Radha Rani Temple belt are limited, and land once sold cannot be added back.

Pre-launch entry pricing

At ₹45,000 per sq. yd. the pricing reflects an early phase of the Braj growth story compared with Vrindavan, where land prices have already moved sharply.

Flexible use

As a plot, the buyer controls the home design, timing and budget, and can hold the land or build when ready, subject to approvals.

Location Advantages

Well-placed, quietly connected.

Radha Rani Temple Belt
Located in Barsana on Govardhan Road, close to Shri Radha Rani (Ladli Ji) Temple on Bhanugarh Hill, Kirti Mandir and Priya Kund - a strong location for plots near Radha Rani Mandir.
Barsana Ropeway
The ropeway to Radha Rani Temple opened in August 2024 and has raised daily pilgrim footfall, especially among seniors and families.
Govardhan and Radha Kund
About 20 km from Govardhan via Barsana Road, so Govardhan Parikrama and Radha Kund fit into the same day - useful for buyers of plots near Govardhan.
Mathura and Vrindavan
Mathura is roughly 43 to 50 km and Vrindavan about 43 to 45 km by road, with Nandgaon only 8 to 9 km beyond Barsana - a good fit for plots near Vrindavan and plots in Mathura.
Noida International Airport (Jewar)
Commercial flights began on 15 June 2026. Barsana is roughly 145 to 155 km from the airport via the Yamuna Expressway, so Oasis suits buyers who want land on the Braj side of the corridor rather than next to the airport.
Delhi, Greater Noida, Palwal and Agra Corridor
Delhi is roughly 130 to 140 km by road, Greater Noida roughly 130 to 150 km via the Yamuna Expressway, Palwal roughly 60 km along the NH-19 corridor and Agra roughly 90 to 110 km. Distances are approximate and depend on route and traffic.

Frequently Asked

Everything you might quietly want to know.

Oasis by Shri Divine is a pre-launch gated residential plotted community on Govardhan Road, Barsana, Mathura, developed by Shri Divine Group. It offers 125 sq yd and 170 sq yd plots starting at ₹45,000 per sq yd, with basic amenities as per the developer plan.

It is located on Govardhan Road in Barsana, Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh (PIN 281405), close to the Radha Rani Temple belt in Braj. Govardhan is about 20 km away, Vrindavan about 43 to 45 km and Mathura about 43 to 50 km by road. Ask the sales team for the exact drive time to the temple.

Plots start from ₹45,000 per sq yd. At the base rate a 125 sq yd plot is about ₹56.25 Lakhs and a 170 sq yd plot is about ₹76.5 Lakhs. Registry, development, maintenance and other charges are extra, so please confirm the current price sheet with the sales team.

Two sizes are offered: 125 sq yd (about 1,125 sq ft or 104.5 sq m) and 170 sq yd (about 1,530 sq ft or 142.1 sq m). One sq yd is the same as one gaj, so these are 125 gaj and 170 gaj plots. Plot-wise areas and facing are as per the approved layout plan, available on request.

No. The project is in pre-launch and UP RERA registration is pending. The RERA number will be published on this page once it is issued, and buyers should verify it on the official UP RERA website before paying any booking amount.

We recommend registering your interest now to receive the layout and price sheet, but waiting for the RERA registration before making any payment. Verify the registration, approved layout, land title and developer agreement independently, and take advice from a legal adviser.

Pre-launch means the project is being introduced before it is registered and before bookings open. Buyers can ask for information and register interest, but layout, charges and timelines can change until RERA registration and layout approval are in place.

Planned basics include a gated entry, internal roads, street lighting, drainage, water and electricity provision, green areas and parks, a children play area, walking paths and CCTV at key points, as per the developer plan. The confirmed list will be as per the approved layout, so please request the latest brochure.

Barsana is an emerging pilgrimage-led market with strong public investment, rising footfall and limited organised land supply. Key drivers are the ₹30,000 crore Braj plan, the ropeway and the Jewar airport. Returns are never guaranteed, so buyers should compare prices, verify approvals and hold for a medium to long term.

Yes. Oasis by Shri Divine is on Govardhan Road in Barsana, close to the Radha Rani (Ladli Ji) Temple belt. Ask the sales team for the exact distance and drive time from the plot to the temple, as it can vary with the final layout.

Yes. The project is about 20 km from Govardhan, about 43 to 45 km from Vrindavan and about 43 to 50 km from Mathura by road. These are approximate road distances and can vary by route and traffic.

Barsana is on the Braj side of the Yamuna Expressway corridor, and Noida International Airport at Jewar is roughly 145 to 155 km away by road. The airport began commercial flights on 15 June 2026. Oasis is not next to the airport, so buyers who want plots right beside Jewar should compare projects near the airport itself.

Delhi is roughly 130 to 140 km by road, Greater Noida roughly 130 to 150 km via the Yamuna Expressway, Palwal roughly 60 km along the NH-19 corridor and Agra roughly 90 to 110 km. These are approximate road distances and depend on route and traffic.

Many buyers look at plots in tier 2 cities because land is cheaper than in metro cities and infrastructure is improving. Mathura, Vrindavan and Barsana add a pilgrimage identity and a state-backed Braj plan, but buyers should still compare prices, verify approvals and hold for the long term.

At the base rate of ₹45,000 per sq yd, a 125 sq yd plot is about ₹56.25 Lakhs and a 170 sq yd plot is about ₹76.5 Lakhs, so both sizes fall under ₹1 crore and the 125 sq yd plot is under ₹60 Lakhs. Registry and other charges are extra.

At Oasis by Shri Divine the starting rate is ₹45,000 per sq yd. Rates in other projects vary by location, layout, approvals and amenities, so compare the total cost including registry and development charges before deciding.

Check the RERA registration, the approved layout plan, the title deed and chain of ownership, the encumbrance and land-use status, and the sale agreement and charges. Taking advice from a legal adviser before paying any amount is strongly recommended.

NRIs and OCI holders are generally permitted to buy residential property in India, subject to FEMA and RBI rules, and agricultural land, plantation property and farmhouses are not permitted. They usually need a valid passport, funds through NRE or NRO accounts, and documentation. Please consult a legal or tax adviser and ask the sales team about the NRI process.

Banks generally lend on plots only in approved layouts and, for new projects, usually after RERA registration, and terms vary by bank. Loan availability should be confirmed with the bank once the registration is issued.

Plots are sold for residential use, and buyers can build their own home subject to the approved layout, building bye-laws and the sale agreement. Confirm setbacks, permitted height, construction timelines and any commercial or stay use with the developer before planning.

Both are plotted communities by Shri Divine Group on Govardhan Road, Barsana. Oasis offers 125 and 170 sq yd plots and is in pre-launch, while Shri Divine Vedaant offers 120 to 139 sq yd plots. Compare layout, charges, RERA status and timelines of each before choosing.

For 1 and 2 BHK flats, see Shri Divine Vedaa, Barsana. For independent villas and houses, see Shri Divine Vasundhara, Barsana. For another plotted community, see Shri Divine Vedaant.

It is a development programme announced by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Janmashtami 2025 for the overall development of the Braj region. It covers pilgrimage sites across Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Gokul, Baldev, Govardhan and Radha Kund, including parikrama routes, kunds, entrance gates, connectivity and water conservation.

Barsana now has a ropeway to Radha Rani Temple, approved eco-restoration of Rakauli, Dhabhala and Sakhi Giri hills, and planned parking, Parikrama path upgrades, sewage and water treatment, a new inter college and a convention centre near Priya Kund under the Braj Development Plan.

Submit the enquiry form on this page or call the sales team to register your interest and receive the layout plan, price sheet and RERA update. A site visit can be arranged on Govardhan Road, Barsana, and site visits are strongly recommended before any decision.
