Charan Pahari

The hill of Charan Pahari near Nandgaon is a noteworthy name among the several precious religious sites in the Mathura area, famed for the impressions of Lord Krishna’s foot. This sacred tourist attraction, located on the southwest side of Nandgaon, also known as Nandagram, has a tradition that dates back to the period when Lord Krishna used to live here. Lord Krishna climbed to the top of the hill and played his flute after entering the cave of Luk Luka Khandar. The melodic sound of the flute interrupted the sakhis’ meditation, and they rushed to catch a glimpse of him playing the flute. The sound of the flute is said to have melted the entire hill, revealing the impressions of Lord Krishna’s foot. Not only that but the surrounding hill where all the sakhis were playing is supposed to have melted as a result of Lord Krishna’s flute’s lovely sound. The impressions of sakhis’ feet and hooves can be found on this slope.

He devised a strategy to visit the location. Lord Krishna, not wanting to be apart from his father, requested that he pay him a visit on the auspicious day of Akshay Tritiya. On Akshay Tritiya, however, Nand Maharaj was startled to discover King Prayagraj in his town, who had come to take a sacred plunge in the Pavana Sarovar’s water Nand Maharaja Ji decided to bathe in the water of Pavana Sarovar instead of visiting Sangam after learning of its piety.
