Daan Ghati Temple, Govardhan, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh

Situated in the vibrant town of Govardhan, the Daan Ghati Temple is celebrated for its intimate connection with Lord Krishna's youthful frolics. Among these, the most cherished is the 'dana-leela' or 'tax pastime', where Lord Krishna, in his playful mood, would ask the gopis for a tax in the form of butter. This delightful exchange is not just a story, but a reminder of the Lord's presence in the simple joys and everyday exchanges of life.
