Dan Ghati

Sacred Hill

Presiding deity: Giriraj Govardhan

Significance

At this narrow pass Krishna, posing as a toll-collector, playfully stopped Radha and the gopis carrying yoghurt to Mathura, demanding a 'dana' (tax). A temple of Giriraj marks the much-loved pastime and the start of many parikramas.
