Mahavan Gokul Darshan: Nanda Bhavan (Krsna's Birthplace)

From Brahmanda Ghat, our parikrama party proceeded to Nanda Bhavan, the birthplace of Sri Krishna and His twin sister, Ekanamsa (Yogamaya). Here you can have darshan of the relics of what used to be a palace of Nanda Maharaj. The 84 pillars of the palace still stand in memory of the Lord's sweet and lovely childhood pastimes from butter stealing to demon killings. Before reaching Nanda Bhavan, we first visited the place where Nalakuvera and Manigriva were delivered by the grinding mortar where Damodar Krsna was bound. The remains of the grinding mortar is still present in this place.
