The temple site is present in the Bhandirvan forest of Mant constituency in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The site holds cultural importance as according to Sanskrit scriptures - Braham Vaivarta Purana and Garga Samhita, Radha and Krishna were married in Bhandirvan forest in the presence of Brahma, the creator, who also became the priest and solemnized their wedding ceremony.

[1][2][3] Annually, this divine wedding is celebrated on the occasion of Phulera Dooj which usually falls in the month of February - March.

It is celebrated as the forest of Braj where Krishna used to enjoy taking lunch with his cowherd friends under the massive Bhandirvata banyan tree.

The locals say that only 10 million confidential associates of the couple (that included sakhis, peacocks, parrots, cows, and monkeys) participated in this marriage.

According to scriptures like Brahma Vaivarta Purana and Garga Samhita, the story mentioned is as follows :- "One day, Nanda Baba went along with infant Krishna to Bhandirvan for cow grazing.

And then she saw the infant Krishna vanished from her lap while a young handsome man appeared before her wearing jewelry and a crown.

[4][12] The story goes like this - "Once, a great demon named Pralamba entered the playgroup of gopas (cowherds) disguised as a boy, with the intention to kill both Balarama and Krishna.

But soon the demon began to feel the heavy burden of Balarama, and not being able to withstand that, finally assumed his real form.

Immediately, He struck the head of Pralamba with his strong fist, who fell down dead with a tremendous sound, as blood poured from his mouth".

[8] Lord Krishna performed many leelas in Bhandirvan which also includes saving the cowherds and the calves from a colossal forest fire.

According to legend, one day, Lord Krishna and his friends brought the cows to drink water at the river Yamuna and then let them graze freely.

At this time, the servants of Kansa set the forest on fire, which spread everywhere in a moment and surrounded the cows and cowherd boys.

Krishna caught hold of two hind legs and tail of the demon-calf, whipped him around with great force and threw him to his death into a tree.

[8] The main festival of temple is called Byahula Utsav in which wedding ceremony of Radha and Krishna is performed annually by senior priests.

In this place, Krishna used to eat lunch with his sakhas (friends) and play His flute to call Radharani and all the gopis.
