The Divine Mountain of Braj: Shri Giriraj Govardhan

Located approximately 25 kilometers west of Mathura, Govardhan Hill holds supreme spiritual reverence in Vaishnavism. According to Shrimad Bhagavatam, Lord Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill on the tip of his little finger for seven days and seven nights to protect the inhabitants of Braj from the wrath of torrential rains unleashed by Indra Dev.

Performing the sacred Govardhan Parikrama (21 kilometers / 14 miles circumference) is considered equal to visiting all holy places on earth. Vrindavan DMC (A Unit of KV Tours Pvt. Ltd.) provides comprehensive logistical arrangements for pilgrims, senior citizens, and travel agent groups.

Key Shrines Along the Govardhan Parikrama Route

1. Dan Ghati Mandir (Starting & Major Worship Point)

The prime temple where milk abhishekam (Dugdhabhishek) is offered to Giriraj Maharaj. Here, Lord Krishna took a sweet tax ("Dan") of curd and butter from the Gopis. Our team coordinates pre-arranged puja samagri and smooth darshan.

2. Mansi Ganga (The Lake Created from Lord Krishna's Mind)

Considered more holy than the Ganges itself. Pilgrims take a holy dip or achaman here before embarking on their parikrama. We organize proper changing spaces and guide coordination.

3. Kusum Sarovar (Historical Sandstone Reservoir)

A magnificent multi-tiered historical water palace constructed in Rajasthani architectural grandeur by the Bharatpur royal dynasty. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed ecstatic kirtan here.

4. Radha Kund & Shyam Kund (The Supreme Sacred Waters)

The innermost sanctuary of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Created by Radha Rani and Lord Krishna after the slaying of the demon Aristasura, bathing here is believed to grant the highest pure love (Prema) for the Divine Couple.

5. Puchhari Ka Lautha & Jatipura

Where the tail of Govardhan rests and where Madhavendra Puri discovered the deity of Shrinathji. Famous for daily Chhapan Bhog offerings and Mukharvind worship.
