71. Vyomasura Cave


Vyomasura cave is a few km out of town, on the side of a hill, Vyomasura put the cowherd boys in this cave, after he stole them. Krishna apprehended and fought with Vyomasura here.Gufa  means "cave".During the fight, Krishna fell from the sky and landed on His feet and hands. Imbedded in the rock, on top of the hill, are perfectly legible footprints and handprints. About ten feet (3  m) from the feet and handprints are the imprints of two marigold flower garlands. This place is on top of the hill, just above Vyomasura's cave.The battle was so heavy that the earth began to  shake. To steady the wobbling earth, Balarama (often known as Dauji) pressed His foot into the rock. His footprint is enshrined across the road from where Vyomasura's cave is located. There is  a small (7 feet high) concrete structure over the footprints.About 50 feet (15 feet) to the right of Vyomasura's cave, in the middle of the hill, is what is said to be the imprints of Krishna's Kaustuba  necklace. There is a small shrine over thisspot.Getting to the Cave: If you are in the middle of the hill, standing on the main road, Vyomasura's cave is to your right. Near the cave the hill is at its  highest point. There is a well-constructed bridge that goes over the drainage ditch, near the cave. Once you go over the bridge the cave is about 25 m (75 ft) to your right, about 15 m (45 ft) up  the hill. You can see the cave from the ground. The cave is about eight feet high and eight feet wide, at its entrance. It is a fairly easy climb except the last few feet. You may have to ask some  people exactly where the cave is located.
