Krsna-Balarama

There are two black marble Deities of Krsna and Balarama in this temple. They are both in three-fold bending forms, holding flutes. On Their left and right are two tall deities of Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja. Next to the deity of Mother Yasoda is a deity of Srimati Radharani, a small deity of Rohini (the mother of Lord Balarama) and Revati, Balarama’s wife. Next to Nanda Maharaja are two of Krishna’s friends, Sudama (maybe Sridama) and Madhumangala. The Deities in this temple were originally installed by Vajranabha. It is believed that the Deities in this temple were found by Sanatana Gosvami in a cave on the hill. This temple was built in the beginning of the 19th century by Rupa Singh.

On the ceiling of the inner dome of this temple are many paintings depicting Krishna’s pastimes. This temple is on top of the Nandisvara hill. Many people visit this temple.
