Unchagaon

Unchagaon


       This village situated 1 mile west of Shri Barsana Gram is the appearance place of Shri Radhika’s most intimate Sakhi, Lalita Sakhi. It is Lalita’s duty to pacify Shrimati Radharani when She is feeling separation from Krishna. There is a Lalita Krishna temple atop the hill in Unchagaon. In this temple there is a set of Radha Krishna deities and next to Them is a little deity of Shri Lalita Devi. The Samadhi of Narayan Bhatt Goswami, a great devotee of Lord Chaitanya, is also there in Unchagaon. He excavated many pastime places and installed many lost deities of Vrindavan. Close to this Samadhi is a temple of Balaramji. Narayan Bhatt Goswami would personally worship this deity of Balaramji. Also there is a Sakhi-Giri Parvata or Sakhi Giri hill in Unchagaon where the intimate sakhis such as Lalita, Vishakha, Champaklata  and Chitra would perform playful pastimes. On the Sakhi Giri Parvata is a stone slide called the Phisalini Shila. It is said that at this place Krishna and the Gopis would throw colors on each other during Holi.
