Barsana Gram is a captivating and divine village located 40 km away from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. It is significant for being the birthplace of Lord Krishna's beloved gopi, Shri Radha. Barsana is also known as Vrishabhanupur and is a popular pilgrimage place among Hindus.
The village is situated around two hills adjacent to each other, referred to as Brahma Hill and Vishnu Hill. These hills have four peaks, namely Bhanugarh, Maangarh, Daangarh and Vilasgarh; these peaks are believed to be the heads of Lord Brahma. Except for Vilasgarh, the rest lie on Brahma Hill.
Maan Mandir
Maan Mandir is situated on the hill top of Maangarh. It is said to be the place where Radha would go into seclusion when displeased. The temple has a small tunnel leading to a dark chamber, which is believed to be the place, unhappy Radha went to. Mor Kutir (literally translates to "peacock cottage") which is situated at the foot of Maangarh, is the place where Krishna danced in the form of peacock and peahen to please her.

Sankaari Khor
Sankaari Khor (Sankaari-narrow; Khor- sacred place) is the narrow passage between the two hills. The passage is said to be the place where Lord Krishna and his friends dressed as tax collectors to tease Radha and other gopis, demanding ghee, butter or yoghurt.
Prem Sarovar
Prem Sarovar is a pond situated on the road to Nandgaon, one mile from Barsana. It is shaped like a boat and is beautifully decorated on all sides with lush kadamb trees. It is believed that love itself has manifested as a pond. Pili Pokhara, also known as Priya Kund is another pond, which is believed to have turned yellow just with the touch of Radha's hands.
