MATHURA 
The cradle of Krishna Lila

GOKULAM

It is located across the river Yamuna. It is this Punyabhumi that witnessed the multiplicity of Balakrishna's indescribable sports that kept heaven agog even. In fact, there passed no day then, when some miracle or the other was shown by that Jagannataka Sutradhari to the denizens of that pujya dharani. Starting from killing of Putava, followed by crushing of Sakatasura, smashing of Vrishabhasura, humbling of Kalia, blind-folding of Brahma, showing of 14 worlds in the mouth, to liberating Gandharvas interspersed with butter-stealing pranks and many more divyalilas arc said to have taken place here. As every inch of this place exudes divinity, many temples were built to perpetuate the spots. They breathe in grace and breathe out bliss, so they are to be visited indispensably by ardent theists, and tourists even.
