Nandgaon, Uttar Pradesh

Nandgaon is a historical town and a nagar panchayat in Mathura district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The town is named after Nandi, the bull of Shiva, and was formerly called Nandigrama.

The hill in the town was formerly known as Nandīśvar or Rudraparvata, and considered to be Śiva-svarūpa (Shiva's own form).

[1][2] The Nandarāyajī kā Mandira at the peak of the hill houses identical images of Krishna and Balarama flanked by Nanda and Yashoda.

The current temple was built in the mid-eighteenth century by Rūp Siṁh, a Sinsinwar Jat.
