This place lies approximately one mile east of Nad-bhavan, the birthplace of Krishna. Here, the small boy Krishna ate clay while playing with the cowherd boys. The boy saw this and told Mother Yashoda, who asked Balram about it. Balram verified the fact. She went to Krishna and asked Him herself, “have you eaten clay?”

Historic Nand Bhavan in Gokul
Gokul & Mahavan Temples

Nand Bhawan

The Supreme Lord Shree Krishna and Yogmaya took birth as twins from the womb of mother Yashoda in her room in Nanda’s place. They were born at midnight on Astami (the eight day after the full moon) in the month of Bhadra when the star (nakshatra) known as Rohini was visible in the sky. One can take darshan of Yogmaya here. Srimad-bhagvatam vividly describes how the most fortunate Nanda Baba became very joyful upon receiving a son. After the ceremony known as nadicheda-samskara had been performed, in which the umbilical cord is cut, baby Krishna was bathed and so on. Nanda Baba then called the Brahmans to perform the various purificatory rituals and other rites of childbirth.
