Morena, 27 August (HS). Nandotsav is being celebrated on Tuesday after the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. In Kishanpur village of the district, Lord Krishna has been giving darshan to the devotees in the name of Shri Gopal Ji in his childhood form for centuries. Since this morning, devotees from far and wide are enjoying Nandotsav along with darshan and worship of the Lord at the temple. The villagers are making arrangements for prasadi and water for the devotees on the 6 km route from Morena to the temple.

Last night, the devotees celebrated Janmashtami, the appearance day of Lord Krishna, with full devotion. Nandotsav is being celebrated since the second day, Tuesday morning, at Shri Gopal Ji Temple in Kishanpur. Today, Lord Shri Gopal Ji's Bhog Prasadi is being distributed to the devotees. During Nandotsav, the entire village is engaged in serving the devotees. A fair has also been organized today outside the temple premises. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple has been attractively decorated according to religious customs. The devotees are being able to have darshan of the Lord's Shricharan Chowki with ease.

According to legends, about 500 years ago, Lord Shrinath left Govardhan Girraj Ji for Rajasthan through Nath Dwara. During this time, he spent Chaturmas during the rainy season in Kishanpur village. The villagers engaged in the service of the Lord requested the Lord to stay when he went to Bihar again. Pleased with the service of the devotees, the Lord established himself in the childhood form of Shri Gopal Ji. Since that time, the worship of Lord Shri Gopal Ji is being done here according to his childhood pastimes. According to religious texts, one of the 12 Charan Chowkis of Lord Shrinath Ji from Govardhan Girraj Ji to Shrinath Dwara is in Kishanpur village of Morena. The temple management is serving Lord Shri Gopal Ji by following most of the rules of Nath Dwara temple.
