Bhadravana and Vatsavana

In the Bhadravana forest at a place called Vatsavana, Krishna killed the demon Vatsasura. The cowherd boys would wrestle here. There is the Bhadrisvara Siva Temple here, which was established by Vajranabha. This forest is 35km from Mathura and it is has a parikrama of 6km.

“Once, when Krishna and Balarama were playing on the bank of the Yamuna, a demon of the name Vatsasura assumed the shape of a calf and came there intending to kill the brothers. By taking the shape of a calf, the demon could mingle with other calves. Krishna, however, specifically noticed this, and He immediately told Balarama about the entrance of the demon. Both brothers then followed him and sneaked up upon him. Krishna caught hold of the demon-calf by the two hind legs and tail, whipped him around very forcibly and threw him up into a tree. The demon lost his life and fell down from the top of the tree to the ground. When the demon lay dead on the ground, all the playmates of Krishna congratulated Him, ‘Well done, well done,’ and the demigods in the sky began to shower flowers with great satisfaction.” (Krishna Book,. 11)

How To Get Here This forest is 35km from Mathura, on the other side of the Yamuna. It is about an hour and a half car ride from Vrindavana. To get here you go over the bridge in Mathura and take Hathras Road (the main road) straight to the town of Raya. When you reach Raya you make a left turn onto the road to Mat. You then go about 15km.
