Places of braj

Welcome to Braj- Braj is famous for Pilgrimage and Tourism. There are many places associated with Shri Krishna where He played in His childhood and did Divya Bal Leelas. In the Places section, we have tried to describe some of these important holy places.
Shri Krishna was incarnated in the prison of Kamsa who was the maternal uncle of Shri Krishna in Mathura. Just after His incarnation, He was taken at midnight in heavy rains to Gokul to the royal house of Nandbaba and Yashoda to save the child from the cruel eyes of Kamsa who wanted to kill Him.
WElcome to Braj- Gokul where Shri Krishna was brought up. He played with Gopa and Gopis and performed many Divya bal leelas. He killed many demons also during His childhood.
AS Shri Krishna grew up He went for Gaucharan(taking the cowherds to the jungle) where He played with His childhood friends.
In the process, He also went to Vrindavan and Goverdhan. There also He did bal leelas and Rasleela.
The places where Shri Krishna played and did Bal Leelas are treated as the most sacred places in Braj. Devotees visit these places with devotion and do parikrama ( the holy round) of these places throughout the year. Pilgrims, Devotees and tourists come to these holy places and make purchases of the Puja articles produced or assembled in these places and are easily available in the markets of Mathura and Vrindavan. The articles normally purchased are Kanthi Mala, Tulsi Japa mala, Goumukhi, Brass idols of Child Shri Krishna( Laddu Gopal) with Shringar( Decorations), flute and other Ashtadhatu decorative items. These items are used in daily worship or given as gifts to friends and relatives.
