Nand
bhavan:
Krishna
and
his
childhood
pastimes
amuse
every
pilgrim,
and
this
amusement
towards
the
supreme
almighty
brings
the
pilgrims
to
his
own
abode
the
Braj
Dham.
Every
part
of
this
region
narrates
a
different
character
of
Lord
Krishna.
From
Mathura
to
Nandgaon-Barsana,
the
affiliation
of
Kanha’s
childhood
with
these
cities
makes
them
a
privileged
destination
of
pilgrimage
tours.
Nandgaon
is
said
to
be
the
place
where
lord
Kanha
sort
refuge
from
the
cruelties
of
Kansa.
Residence
of
the
Lord:
Nand
Bhavan
was
the
residence
of
Shri
Krishna’s
foster
father
Nand
Maharaj
in
Nandgaon.
Located
at
30
km
from
Mathura,
Nandgaon
is
located
to
the
south
adjacent
to
the
Nandiswar
hill.
Nand
Bhawan
is
nestled
on
a
mountain
peak
verdant
with
green
foliage
all
around.
The
rolling
mountains
at
the
backdrop
make
this
place
more
spectacular.
Mesmeric
structure
of
devotion:
Visiting
Nand
Bhavan
in
Braj
is
like
revisiting
the
infancy
of
Lord
Krishna.
The
opulence
of
Nand
Bhawan
can
be
judged
by
its
sprawling
vast
complex.
The
premises
are
huge
and
few
ascending
stairs
lead
to
its
entrance.
Nand
Bhawan
is
wealthy
in
its
manifestation.
The
wide
open
spaces
around
the
palace
bring
the
yester-world
real
to
the
eyes.
There
are
fascinating
rooms
exclusively
allotted
to
everyone
including
father
Nand
baba,
mother
Yashoda,
mother
Rohini,
Shri
Krishna,
Baldev,
Shri
Radha
and
their
allies.
The
residence
is
extensive
as
it
had
a
kitchen,
dining
hall,
restrooms,
storerooms
etc.
The
mythical
place
is
wrapped
up
with
stories
from
the
spiritually
significant
era.
Besides
splendid
and
spacious
rooms,
pilgrims
here
are
allured
by
the
red
sandstone
temple
of
Nand
Maharaja.
This
magnificent
19th-century
temple
is
the
major
attraction
for
pilgrims.
The
ceilings
of
the
temple
are
flooded
with
beautiful
paintings
and
the
walls
are
decorated
with
the
scenes
from
the
spiritually
significant
era.
The
murals
and
paintings
seem
so
real
that
they
bring
the
episodic
scenes
back
to
life
that
were
once
played
in
this
palace
for
real.
The
temple
has
the
idols
of
the
deities
Nand
baba,
mother
Yashoda,
Shri
Krishna,
brother
Balarama,
beloved
Shri
Radha
and
other
family
members.
The
enshrined
deities
are
worshipped
by
the
locals
daily
with
faith.
Childhood
memories
that
come
alive:
Nand
Bhawan
beholds
various
stories
of
Lord’s
childhood
and
youth
days
with
his
brother
Baladeva.
It
is
believed
that
Shri
Radha
used
to
come
here
on
loving
requests
of
mother
Yashoda.
With
great
delight,
she
used
to
prepare
tasty
dishes
for
Shri
Krishna.
Krishna
would
then
eat
the
food
with
his
friends
in
the
dining
hall
of
and
Bhawan
and
take
rest
in
the
bedrooms.
Nand
Bhavan
is
a
major
site
for
Hindu
pilgrims.
Devotees
come
here
from
all
around
the
world
and
soak
themselves
in
the
timeless
power
and
get
connected
to
the
spiritual
world.
