Daan Garh, Barsana

Location :
Dan Garh is located 500 meters from the Sri Radha Rani Temple on the Bramhachal mountain of Barsana.

Braj gopis always go by this route selling milk and curd and on the way, Nandanandan appears to them spontaneously, from somewhere, to fulfill the wishes of these Braj gopikas. In the place of milk curd, these gopis call 'Govind Lehu, Lehu Kou Govind (anyone wants govind, we are selling)' in Braj. One day, according to their daily routine, these gopis were going through this forest path with milk and curd on their head. Suddenly Shri Shyamsundar appears there and stops the gopis and tells them
"O Braj Gopis, who are you all, you take milk curd by this route every day, and do not pay taxes, Maharaj Kandarp has appointed me to do it here, do not you all fear the punishment"
On this, the gopis say, "Our Highness is Shri Kishori Ji, this entire Braj Mandal belongs to our queen, whose sarcasm make your Maharaj Kandarp faint.
Saying that the gopis started walking ahead of Shri Kishori Ji, then Shri Krishna stopped the path and said "If you do not pay taxes then Maharaj Kandarp will be angry and you all have to be punished".
In this way, after the humor, both Shri Shyama Shyam started performing sweet pastimes in Kelikunj. All the friends were filled with bliss.

There is a Dan Bihari Temple at this place
Daanveshdharayaiva Dadhyupasyabhilashine.
Radhanirbhatsitayaiva Krishnaya Satatam Namah.
