NANDAGAON

Nandagaon After leaving Gokula due to the disturbance created by the demons sent by King Kamsa, Nanda Maharaja first stayed at Shakatikara (Chhatikara) and then at Dig, then at Kamyavana, before finally settling at Nandagrama, where he built a permanent residence. It is said that Krishna was in His sixth year when He arrived at Nandagrama and remained there until He was almost eleven, after which He moved to Mathura to be with His original parents, Vasudeva and Devaki, to whom He was born in the prison cell of Kamsa.

PREMA SAROVARA

This is one of the most beautiful and also famous lakes in Vraja and it was created from the tear drops of the ‘divine lovers’ Radha and Krishna.

NANDA BABA MANDIR

This was the site of Nanda Maharaja’s residence known as Nanda Bhavan where Krishna and Balarama used to live; the word ‘bhavan’ means a large palatial residence with many well-appointed rooms. The present Krishna-Balarama mandir temple of has been built on the spot where Nanda’s residence once stood.

PAVANA SAROVAR

This is the most celebrated lake in Nandagrama and it is customary to first bathe here before going to have darshana of Krishna and Balarama at Nanda Bhavana.

VRINDA KUND

This famous kunda on the outskirts of Nandagrama is the residence of the gopi Vrinda Devi, who is very expert in arranging meetings between the ‘divine lovers’ Radha and Krishna.

TER KADAMB

The word ‘ter’ or ‘tera’ means that Krishna was sitting on the ‘end’ of a tree branch after climbing one of the kadamba trees. After the go-charana-lila or cow herding adventures during the day, Krishna would return in the late afternoon with His cows to Ter Kadamba where He would climb one of the kadamba trees in this grove and while sitting on a tree branch, He would call all the cows to assemble there by playing on His flute.
