I<\/span>t\u2019s nearing 11 pm and I am still waiting outside the walled temple of Nidhivan in Vrindavan, in Uttar Pradesh\u2019s Mathura district. I never imagined I\u2019d be investigating a legend I\u2019ve heard since I was a kid at this supposed site of Krishna\u2019s childhood. Vrindavan is now known as the \u201cCity of Widows,\u201d as it harbours a floating population of nearly 20,000 women who migrate here after losing their husbands to sing hymns to the Blue God. At this hour though, I can\u2019t hear any of their prayers \u2013<\/span> the last pedha<\/span> shops around have shuttered, the last rickshaw pullers are fast asleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the monkeys are still awake. They are everywhere in Vrindavan<\/a>, carrying out a primate version of UP\u2019s gunda raj. The foot soldiers of this bandar raj hover above houses, terrorising residents and passersby. I\u2019m feeling secure though, as the animals\u2019 penchant for stealing spectacles has forced me to take mine off, forcing me into a temporary blindness. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blindness just might be my lot if the legend comes true. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve heard this story from my late maternal grandmother since I was child. Nidhivan, she told me, was a walled forest in the middle of Vrindavan. In the solitary temple inside, every evening around 5, the priests would install seven locks and place plates of besan laddoos, khoya pedas, ghee, butter, and kheer outside it. They would remake the bed inside the only other room inside the forest, called Rang Mahal.<\/span> But no one is allowed to stay inside Nidhivan past 5.30 pm, because every night, for the last 5,000 years, the trees inside the forest turn into gopis. Krishna, it is believed, descends from the heavens with Radha to dance with them, to perform the Raas Leela. After the Leela is done, around 11.30 pm, Krishna eats the food laid out for him, and proceeds to the Rang Mahal to rest with Radha. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the catch. If any human were to witness the ceremony, the priests and locals say, they will go blind, insane even. It\u2019s an enduring myth around the city, and one that pervades through the city like the stench of open sewers. One person, a chaiwallah near the bus stand tells me, shifted to a house overlooking Nidhivan and found that one of the windows\u2019 view was barred by a plank of wood. Unsure, he removed it, looked outside on his very first night in the house, saw the Raas Leela, and went mad. He never returned to Vrindavan again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My lovely grandmother repeated the story to me several times while I was growing up, vowing to never take me there — and from then on, I was a Krishna fanboy. The fascination crystallised when I read a truncated version of the Mahabharata for the first time at 13 years. Krishna was the cool cat who engaged in skirmishes not by force, but through psychological warfare. Krishna, with his amped-up flirtation and his luck with the ladies, held infinite appeal for me. It was only magnified by my name, Parth, a nickname Krishna gave to Arjun at the battlefield in Kurukshetra. <\/span>

Vrindavan I realised by day, is a village with illusions of being a spiritual town. The business day begins at 4.30 am with morning aartis at Chir Ghat along the banks of the Yamuna and ends at 9 pm.<\/blockquote>
So here I am, surrounded by monkeys and barely working street lamps, patrolling the 15-feet boundaries of Nidhivan, hoping that my reduced eyesight will heighten my other senses. Specifically my auditory perception, so I can hear the \u201cchhan chhan\u201d from the ghunghroos of the gopis who, I presume, dance every night inside Nidhivan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of blindness though, my lot is disappointment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stay at Nidhvan for nearly an hour that night, literally blinded by faith, but my e-rickshaw guy, Vikas, is getting antsy. \u201cIt\u2019s blasphemy to see the Lord,\u201d he exclaims, and I have no option but to head back to the ashram. \u201cRadhe Radhe,\u201d he says, as I get in. Krishna would have to wait another day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vrindavan I realised by day, is a village with illusions of being a spiritual town. The business day begins at 4.30 am with morning aartis at Chir Ghat along the banks of the Yamuna and ends at 9 pm, when the last temple shut its doors. It\u2019s a faith economy built around the cult of Krishna, where the most lucrative business opportunity lies in opening a peda or trinket shop along the street which leads to the giant Baanke Bihari temple<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, I meet Laddoo Maharaj, the 70-year-old Krishna lifer who will walk me around Nidhivan. By morning light, Nidhivan\u2019s architectural majesty presents itself in full glory. Its main gate is 20-feet high, and built like an entrance to a fortress, followed by a lavish courtyard. The trees, which supposedly turn into gopis<\/span> by night, are unlike any I\u2019ve seen before: Their roots and branches twist downwards into the earth, giving the impression of two people physically intertwined. The land, Laddoo Maharaj tells me, is barren, but trees remain green throughout the year due to Krishna\u2019s \u201ckripa\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we start the tour, old myths transfuse with new ones. I am shepherded to the inner temple, where head priest Pawan Lal tells me that Krishna didn\u2019t eat as much last night as all the pedas laid out for him<\/span> weren\u2019t finished. At Rang Mahal, I am not even allowed to touch the trees or Krishna\u2019s bed. Everywhere we go though, the priests demand a hefty donation. In all this, I miss my grandmother and her comforting presence and stories.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filled with disappointment, I go to a tea stall nearby and contemplate the puzzling state of Vrindavan: It\u2019s a dusty, smelly, unsafe place filled with immaculately kept temples. Would Krishna, way up the the food chain, really come here every night for a jaunt with the gopis? And when he did, would the priests hustle him for dakshina? Might the monkeys, spoilt by the town\u2019s spiritual tourists, try to steal his flute? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My reverie is interrupted by Suraj Singh, who takes me to the bus stand on the Delhi-Agra highway for my ride back home. Along the way, I wonder aloud if I have grown up too much, whether my scepticism for organised religion is disallowing me from keeping the faith, when Suraj answers, \u201cN<\/span>o one has seen anything sir; only pandits tell this tale. No one has gone blind or mad here. I\u2019ve been here for 25 years, and it\u2019s the same in Mathura and Gokul: Ye dekho, woh dekho, sar jhukao.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We agree and then it is time to say goodbye to my only friend in the city. I get on the bus to Delhi, thinking of why my grandmother had repeated the legend to me so often, wondering whether I\u2019d disappointed her by not trying hard enough at Vrindavan. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, in that rickety bus, I felt closer to her than I had in years. I felt the tenderness of her palm on my head, the warmth of her paralysis-ridden cracked skin. My irritated nerves felt strangely reassured. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this is what she and Krishna had intended all along. Raadhe raadhe.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
