Nandagram Temple

There are two black marble Deities of Krishna and Balarama in this temple. They are both in three-fold bending forms, holding flutes. On Their left and right are two tall deities of Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja. Next to mother Yasoda is a deity of Srimati Radharani and next to Nanda Maharaja are two of Krishna's friends, Sudama and Madhumangala. On the ceiling of the inner dome are many murals depicting Krishna's pastimes.

On the side altar there is a linga of Siva called Nandeswara, who is said to have been installed by Vajranabha. This linga of Siva resides eternally in Nandagram performing bhajan (worship) to Sri Krishna. This is one of the five presiding Siva-lingas of Braja. These Siva-lingas protect the holy dhama from any disturbing elements. This temple is on top of the hill.

 

Narasimhadeva Temple

At the bottom of the hill is a Narasimhadeva temple. Nanda Maharaja worshiped the Narasimha and Varaha Deities that are seen in this temple. It is on the opposite side of the Nandiswara Hill from Pavan Sarovara. The Deities are worshiped in a small house in the village. Nanda Maharaja's Lord Narayana Deity is also here, but it is not on the altar or worshiped because it is disfigured.

Close to this place is a yoghurt pot used by mother Yasoda. It is sunk into the ground in a broken down stone hut. It is 4½ feet across and five feet deep. One hundred fifty metres from the Narasimha Temple is Yasoda Kund. Mother Yasoda would bathe Krishna here.
