Gokul - the play pen of Lord Krishna
Located just 16 kms from Mathura is Gokul where Lord Krishna spent his childhood. . There are many colourful events in Krishna’s life that happened at Gokul. Putana, the demon sent by Kamsa to kill Krishna was killed at Gokul. The famous episode of Krishna overpowering the dreaded multi heads erpent Kalia happened on the Yamuna at Gokul. Another key event in the life of Lord Krishna which happened here was that he met Radha his love for the first time at Gokul.
It is the quaint town of cowhersds where Lord Krishna was brought up by his foster mother Yasodhara. It is a fascinating trip where you can see the places where Lord Krishna performced his miracles and also have a look at some of the relics from thise Times. Two must visits at Gokul are Gokulnath Temple and Ramanreti where pilgrims roll on the sand seeking blessings. Gokul is the place to be during Festivals like Janmashtmi, Trinvat Mela and Annakut when grand festivities are organized in this town.
