About Nand Bhavan
Nandgaon is the village of Nand Baba, Krishna's foster father, about 8 km from Barsana. The Nand Bhavan or Nand Rai Ji Temple sits on top of Nandishwar hill and has deities of Nand Baba, Yashoda Maiya, Krishna and Balaram with their friends.
Nandgaon is the other half of the famous Lathmar Holi – a day after Barsana, the women of Nandgaon play Holi with the men of Barsana. The ponds of Pan Sarovar and the hill views make it a lovely stop on a Barsana–Nandgaon trip.

Nandgaon – Krishna's childhood village
Nandgaon is the village of Nand Baba and Yashoda Maiya. On top of Nandishwar hill stands Nand Bhavan, with deities of Nand Baba, Yashoda, Krishna and Balaram with their cowherd friends. The climb is shorter than Barsana but still has steps, so go slowly.
Around the village are old ponds such as Pan Sarovar. The countryside views from the hill are lovely in the morning.
Holi in Nandgaon
The day after Lathmar Holi in Barsana, the men of Barsana come to Nandgaon and the women of Nandgaon play Holi with them. The village is full of colour and music, and very crowded. Plan your car and stay early if you want to see both days.
Nandgaon by taxi
Nandgaon is about 52–58 km from Mathura Junction (approx.) and about 8 km from Barsana. Visit both on the same trip. Book a Mathura to Nandgaon taxi, a Vrindavan to Nandgaon taxi or, from the capital, a Delhi to Nandgaon taxi.
