Nandgaon, located about 50 km from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, is the village of Nand Baba and Yashoda Maiya. After leaving Gokul, Lord Krishna spent his growing years here.
The main attraction is Nand Bhawan Temple situated atop a hill, offering panoramic views of Braj. Nandgaon is especially famous for its grand Holi celebrations, where devotees from across India participate in traditional festivities.
Braj Pilgrimage Importance
Nandgaon is an essential part of the sacred Braj Chaurasi Kos Yatra and is closely connected to Barsana, the birthplace of Radha Rani.
According to Hindu scriptures, Nandgaon became the residence of Nand Baba to protect young Krishna from dangers in Gokul. The village has deep spiritual roots and has been a center of Krishna devotion for centuries.
