Venu Kup
After killing Vatsasur, Shri Krishna met the gopis near Bhandirvat and boasted His strength. The gopis accused Krishna of killing a cow and forbade Him to touch them. Krishna said, "I did not kill a cow but a demon in the form of a calf." The gopis, however, did not accept this. Krishna then inquired how His purity could be restored, and the gopis answered, "If You bathe in all the sacred rivers and ponds on the earth, You will again become pure and can touch us." After hearing the words of the gopis, Krishna created a beautiful well (Kup) with His flute (vertu) and summoned all of the earth's sacred places to enter it. He bathed in that well and then met with the gopis. This well, known as Venu-Kup, is situated near Bhandirvat. By bathing in it, one obtains the same result as by taking bath at each and every sacred place. Even today, the women of Braj worship this well on certain occasions. Those who do not have a child or whose child has died untimely make a vow to propitiate the deity here by their worship. Their hearts desires are then fulfilled.
The Temple of Shri Baldev
Shri Balbhadra, His younger brother Kanhaiya and the sakhas used to come to Bhandirvan to pasture the cows. Shri Balbhadra presides over the forests on the east side of the Yamuna, like Bhadravan, Bhandirvan, Belvan, Gokul-Mahavan and Lohvan. Therefore, all these places have temples of Shri Baldev. It is recommended that one visit the temple of Baldev in Bhandirvan.
Chhaheri-gaon
The village located between Bhandirvat and Vanshivat is called Chhaheri-gaon. After playing with the sakhas in Bhandirvan, Shri Krishna and His friends used to come here, sit in the shade underneath the trees, and enjoy their meals with much joy and laughter. The name Chhaheri is derived from the word chhaya, which means "shade" or "shadow". This village is also called Bijauli.
Ras Sthali (Vanshivat)
Shri Krishna's place of Ras at Vanshivat is situated a short distance from Bhandirvat. This Vanshivat is a different place from the Vanshivat in Vrindavan. At the time of cow herding, Shri Krishna would climb this banyan tree and play His flute to call the cows. In this way, He would gather them and bring them all back home. Sometimes, on a beautiful, pleasant night, He would also call His beloved gopis from here – "Radhika, Lalita, Vishakha!" Upon their arrival, Ras-lila would unfold under this Vanshivat.
The Temple of Shridham
Beneath this Vanshivat is the temple of Shridham Bhaiya. When Shri Krishna went to Mathura, Shridham Sakha was heart-broken. He went to this solitary Vanshivat, where he remembered Shri Krishna's sweet pastimes, filling his heart with sorrow. Many days later, when Shri Krishna returned to Gokul after killing Dantavakra, He again met with Shridham here and took Shridham with Him. One can have darshan of Shridham in the temple here.
