Today, on the second day of the Parikrama, we will visit the birthplace of Srimati #Radharani.

Here is the list of places we will covering as part of our Parikrama today-

1) Raval
Raval is a small village five miles southeast of Mathura. It is one of Srimati Radharani’s special abodes and also the place where She appeared.

2) Baldeo
About 25 Km from Mathura is the town of Baldeo, famous for the Dauji temple.
Maharaja Vajranabha, Krishna’s great-grandson, installed the deity of Balarama here.

3) Madhuvana
When the child Dhruva set out in search of the Lord, Narada Muni recommended that he go to the bank of the Yamuna in the Madhuvana forest. Dhruva Maharaja meditated and underwent severe penances and austerities there on the hill Dhruva-tila.

4) Talavana
Talavana forest is famous for its sweet and aromatic palm trees. Here Lord Balarama killed Dhenukasura, the donkey demon.

5) Bahulavana
Krishna descended here just to test the truthfulness of Bahula, the cow who had fallen prey to a tiger.
