Govardhan Giriraj Hill
Nr. Vrindavan, Mathura, India Phone: Not Available not availableAbout
Govardhan Giriraj Hill is the main attraction of the place. In fact, the town is named after this hill only. If the local inhabitants are to be believed, the hill carried a height of about 29 kilometers, 5000 years from now. Lord Krishna held the mountain called Giriraj on his finger to save his villagers from the fury of Indra who sent down torrential rains upon Brij. As a gesture of devotion, the pilgrims walk around or circumambulate around the hill.
