47. Shri Shri Brahmand Ghat
It is the
place where Lord Krishna performed his pastime of showing the whole universe
inside his mouth to his foster mother Yashoda. According to the legend, once
all the Gopas came to mother Yashoda and informed her that her son Krishna has
eaten mud. Mother Yashoda got angry at the deed of Krishna and accompanied
Gopas to the place where Krishna was playing, so as to scold him. On reaching
she enquired Krishna if he has eaten mud but Krishna denied saying that all the
Gopas are lying and he never ate mud. Then Yashoda enquired the truth from Lord
Balram who confirmed that Krishna had eaten mud. On asking Krishna again denied
that he had not eaten mud. To prove the truth, Yashoda asked Krishna to open
his mouth and show if he has not eaten mud. When Krishna opened his small
mouth, mother Yashoda was stunned at the sight of the whole universe revolving
inside the mouth of Krishna. After having the view of such a sight inside the
mouth of her Krishna she lost her senses. A beautiful temple commemorating this
pastime is built on the bank of this Ghat and is named as Brahmanda Bihari temple.
