Uttaranchal
blessed with magnificent
glaciers , majestic snow-clad
mountains, gigantic and ecstatic
peaks, valley of flowers, skiing
slopes and dense forests, this
Abode of Gods includes many
shrines and places of
pilgrimage.
Char-dhams, the four most sacred
and revered Hindu temples:
Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri
and Yamunotri are nestled in the
Mighty Mountains.
A picturesque state, with a
breathtaking panoramic view of
Himalayas, Uttaranchal promises
its tourists a visit full of fun
and unforgettable moments.
What is comparatively a matter
of detail is that Vrindavan is
believed to have been the stage
on which Krishna performed his
famous romantic and sportive
roles. Unlike
busy Mathura.
Vrindavan seems perpetually to
be dreaming and imaginatively,
re-living its romantic past.
There are hundred of shrines in
the town, as also numerous ghats
and several sacred tanks, of
which one called Brahama kund
and another named Govinda kund
are the most highly venerated.
The most famous as well as the
finest temple in Vrindavan is
that of Govinda Deva, dating
from 1590.
It is a huge, Cruciform, Vaulted
building of red sandstone with a
nave 30Mt.(100Ft.) in height and
breadth the wall is 3 Mt.(10Ft.)
thick on an average and is built
in two stage. The upper being a
