Vrindavan Temples Parikrama, Gopal Krishna

The town stands on the original forest of Vrindavana where the  Krishna spent his childhood, on the banks of the Yamuna river. Numerous events are documented to have occurred here: this is where Krishna did the divine dance with Gopis, spread the message of divine love with his lover Radha, stole the clothes of the bathing maidens (gopis) who prayed for attaining him, and destroyed an entire succession of demons. Consequently, it is a major pilgrimage destination for devottes, and features by some counts as many as 5000 temples.
