Gokul

In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa and Bhāgavata Purāṇa, the term "gokula" does not refer to any specific location, but rather simply a "cattle herd" or a small temporary cowherd camp.According to the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Gokula is where Kr̥ṣṇa performed most of his childhood līlā.

Gokul Temples

SHRI THAKURANI GHAT

Thakurani Ghat is the most famous ghat in the Gokul, as on the banks of this Ghat, Vallabhacharya (the founder of Vallabhas) is believed to have received the sacred Darshan (view) of river Yamuna.

NAND BHAWAN

Architect Vishwakarma had built Nanda Bhavan more than 5000 years ago. Located on a hill, it was the house of Nanda, foster father of Lord Krishna.

RAMAN RETI

Raman Reti is the sand in which Lord Krishna played as a child. About 200 years ago, Swami Gyandasji did a severe penance at Raman Reti for 12 years.

BRAHMAND GHAT

Brahmand means the universe. This is the spot where infant Krishna, after swallowing a few mud particles while playing, had apparently revealed the entire cosmic universe in his mouth, much to the bewilderment of his foster mother Yashoda.

CHINTAHARAN MAHDEV JI

This ghat lies on the bank of Shree Yamuna near BrahmandGhat to its east. Chintaharan Mahadev, who is worshipped by the Brijwasis, is present here.

GOKULNATH TEMPLE

Considered an extremely sacred place, Gokulnath Temple is visited by thousands of the pilgrims particularly during the Krishna Janmashtami and Annakut festival.
