Mathura - Govardhan Mount Mandir

Redolent of Balakrishna's boundless compassion for his cow- herd company and exhibiting his asamana divyalila, this holy region beckons visitation for veneration. Breathe in the Bhagawan's mahima by stepping on it. II lures all, for the awe-inspiring episode of lifting the Govardhan hill by Sri Krishna with his left hand and holding it on the little finger to protect Gopas and their cattle, when Devendra sent a terrible rain-storm to punish them for dishonouring him. People undertake perambulation of this sacred Hill for salvation. It is a holy spot worthy of visitation.     The garbha griha is beautified with Govardhan vimana and the thirthas are called Govardhan, Yamuna and Indra. The Vana Vihar festival celebrated every year includes this place for yatra, lasting a week. After this, pilgrims go back to Mathura again.

It lies at a short distance of 10 km from Brindavan, accessible by bus.
