    The temple of Lord Krishna as Khirachora means stealing milk which is a very beautiful place....This is one of the most holy places for Hindus.....It has a peaceful atmosphere & realise that this is a good place for spiritual activity. Words can't express the feelings, when you enter the temple, you feel at peace....It is an ancient temple..... It is situated in Remuna, some 9 km from Baleswar city....Many people have visited this temple in the evening to see the aarti and to have the Khir Prasad which is very tasty....If you want to get a taste of the rich Odia art and sculpture then you must visit this temple...🙏🏻🫣😇

    Best place to know the importance of deity and why it should be preserved.Here the deity is so old that you can't imagine and also the story behind the name khirachora and story of madhvendra puri. Best part is also to relish the very transcendental khira that one drop will liberate you😋

    Lord Shrikrishna as Madanmohan, Gopinath and Govinda in Khirachora Gopinatha temple. 🙏🥀Lord Gopinatha flanked by Sri Govinda and Sri Madanmohana 🙏🙏🙏 Khirachora Gopinatha Temple (କ୍ଷୀରଚୋରା ଗୋପୀନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିର) is in Remuna, Balasore, Odisha. "Kshirachora" means the stealer of condensed milk and "Gopinatha" means the Divine consort of Gopis. The reference is to child Krishna's love for milk and milk products. It is classified one among the 108 Abhimana Khethram of Vaishnavate tradition. One can get delicious Khira (ଖିରା ) here called as Amruta Keli. It is a preparation of homemade condensed milk and sugar. It comes in clay pots which are personally tasted by lord Gopinatha.

Parking: outside Entry: free Time: morning and afternoon

    Khirachora Gopinatha Temple is situated in Remuna. It is a little town located 9 km east of Balasore, about halfway between Howrah and Bhubaneswar in Orissa . The name Remuna is resulting from the word Ramaniya which means very good looking. The nearest train junction to Remuna is at Balasore, which is the first major town in Odisha coming from Calcutta . One can get a night train from Calcutta that stops in Balasore in the early morning hours. From there one can get a taxi or bus to Remuna. If one has arrived Remuna in the morning, one can see the Deities and then catch a night train to Puri . It is famous as Vaishnab shirine. Also know as Remuna Gupta Vrindaban. The chief deity here is Sri Gopinath, who stole the sweet rice that was meant for ‘Madhavendra Puri’.  Here the visitors get to witness the other alters that are next to Gopinath, which are Sri Govinda, Sri Madan Mohan, Sri Radha-Rasbihari and the famous Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; along with Lord Jagannath. The visitors also get to see a number of Shilagrams- Shilas.  The free standing Govinda and Madana Mohana were brought by a devotee named Chaitanya Dasa Babaji; here. He brought these from Vrindavana in the year 1938. Sri Gopinath is made by black Stone, which is flanked by Sri Madan Mohana and Sri Govinda. The people or the visitors can easily get ‘Kshira’ here, which is popularly known as Amarita-Keli here. This Kshira is prepared with the help of condensed milk, along with some cream and sugar. Some raisins are also added into it; to add flavor. This is known as the prepared Kshira that was tasted by Lord Gopinath. The Kshira comes to the Lord in different sizes of eatrthern pots.

    Kshirachora Gopinatha:- Temple (Odia: କ୍ଷୀରଚୋରା ଗୋପୀନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିର) is in Remuna, Odisha, India. The name "Remuna" is from the word "Ramaniya" which means very good-looking. "Kshirachora" in Odia means Stealer of condensed Milk and Gopinatha means the Divine Consort of Gopis. The reference is to child Krishna's love for milk and milk products. It is Classified one among the 108 Abhimana Kshethram of Vaishnavate tradition. *** Parking available *** Prasad Sebana also available I am not blaming the Prasad but quality is too much compromised as expected by a devotee. Must visit for a feeling of divinity

    Old yet the most beautiful temple of Balasore. The life of the Lord Srikrishna has been depicted in a row of sculptures in the temple. It is so colourful all around. Puja and kirtan are mesmerizing. There is a huge parking area for all types of vehicles.

    Kshirachora Gopinatha Temple (Odia: କ୍ଷୀରଚୋରା ଗୋପୀନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିର) is in Remuna, Odisha, India. The name "Remuna" is from the word "Ramaniya" which means very good-looking. "Kshirachora" in Odia means Stealer of condensed Milk and Gopinatha means the Divine Consort of Gopis. The reference is to child Krishna's love for milk and milk products. Over 500 years ago Madhavendra Puri was going to Puri to get some sandalwood for his Sri Gopal deity in Vrindavana. After a few days in Navadvipa, Sri Puri started for Odisha. Within a few days he arrived at Remuna where Gopinatha is situated. Seeing the beauty of the Deity, Madhavendra Puri was overwhelmed. In the corridor of the temple, from which people generally viewed the Deity, Madhavendra Puri chanted and danced. Then he sat down there and asked a brahmana what kinds of foods they offered to the Deity. Madhavendra Puri thought: "I shall inquire from the priest what foods are offered to Gopinatha so that by making arrangements in our kitchen, we can also offer similar foods to Sri Gopala." When the Brahman priest was questioned in this matter, he explained in detail the types of food that were offered to the Deity of Gopinatha. The brahmana priest said: "In the evening the Deity is offered sweet rice in twelve earthen pots. Because the taste is as good as nectar, it is named amrta keli. This sweet rice is celebrated throughout the world as gopinatha-ksheer. It is not offered anywhere else in the world." While Madhavendra Puri was talking with the brahmana priest, the sweet rice was placed before the Deity as an offering. Seeing this Madhavendra Puri thought "If, without my asking, a little sweet rice is given to me, I could then taste it and make a similar preparation to offer my Lord Gopala." Then immediately Madhavendra Puri realised his mistake in desiring to taste the sweet rice, and he immediately repented, "I have committed an offence. I have desired to taste the preparation before it was offered to the Lord." Thinking in this way Puri Goswami left and went to a nearby vacant marketplace. Sitting there he began to chant. After finishing the worship to Gopinatha the Pujari (priest)[1] rested. In a dream Gopinath told him to get up and take the pot of khira that he had hidden under his garments and to give it to Madhavendra Puri. The Pujari got up, found the sweet, and brought it to Madhavendra Puri. The Pujari told him For you Sri Gopinatha has stolen kshira. There is no other fortunate man like you. This is how the deity got the name "Kshira Chora Gopinatha". 'Kshira' means condensed milk, and 'Chora' means thief.

    Kshirachora Gopinatha Temple is located at Remuna, in Balasore. Kshirachora means Stealer of condensed Milk / Rabri which is Lord Krishna's favourite food. The temple has Lord Madanamohana , Gopinath and Govinda as deities here and the beauty is mesmerising. The temple is very much beautiful. Rabri is given as bhoga or offering to God here.

    This Place gives peace of mind and soul. Just divine pleasure. Had a great time visiting this place. It is situated near Remuna NAC 4/5 KM from the Town do visit this if you are near Remuna. Keep in mind the time you are visiting the temple in the morning the temple opens till 12 pm and the temple get closes for a few hours till 4 pm so I suggest either visiting in the morning or after 4 pm. Ps - the temple gate opens for a few minute at 1.30 pm so if you are lucky you may visit this time

    One of the oldest temple of Odisha. It is deeply involved with the history of Jagannath temple and sanatan dharm. Well connected by roads and I found more Bengali devotes here. I like the Rabidi prasada. It is delicious and you must try it if you are here.

  • 5/5 Jagannatha P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the greatest temple in Odisha. You should try Kheera (Rabidi) here. What a taste man !!! You can visit with your near and dear ones. Visit especially during Afternoon . A cool place with slow wind can fall in love with my Krishna. Source - WikipediaLord Gopinatha, flanked by Sri Govinda and Sri Madana Mohana, is made of black stone. Sri Gopinatha stands in bas-relief. Govinda and Madana Mohana, who were brought from Vrindavana in about 1938 by a devotee named "Chaitanya Dasa Babaji", are standing freely. It is said that Sri Rama carved Gopinatha with His arrow and that Sita worshiped this deity in Chitrakuta. During vanavasa to show the next avatara vigraha to Sita. King Langula Narasingha Deva, the king of Utkala, brought this deity to Remuna in the 13th century from Chitrakuta. This king arranged to have dug the two big tanks, Brajapokhari and Kutapokhari. Thanks

    This place is a very sacred place, also called gupta vrindavan by the devotees. Here once Madhavendrapuri came and desired to know the ingredients of the nectar-like kheer(a sweet preparation made from milk) which was offered to Lord Gopinath. For him only, Gopinath stole and kept aside a pot of kheer and after this incident, gopinath came to be known as kheer-chor(thief of kheer) gopinath. Beside Gopinath there are two deities in the altar, one is Govinda dev (on right) and other is Madan Mohan (on left) which were installed by Rasikananda prabhu. His samadhi can be found at the backside of this temple.Very important and unique religious place. A very peaceful placé with holy environment. Anyone can have vog prasad in the temple. The temple also provides its own ashram where you can stay at a very low price. Moreover inspite of being a rural area, it is availed with good facilities. This place is very known for God khirchora.
