The Madan Mohan Temple, a renowned religious site in Sri Vrindavan dham, rests on a small hillock that holds a fascinating tale from the time of Lord Krishna’s presence on earth. The hillock was originally situated by the banks of the river Yamuna during Krishna’s pastimes. It gained fame due to an event that took place after Krishna’s encounter with the venomous serpent Kaliya. Following a grueling fight with Kaliya in the Yamuna, Sri Krishna emerged from the river, drenched and shivering from the cold water. He climbed the hillock to bask in the sun and dry himself. To warm Krishna, 12 suns manifested in the sky and shone down upon the hill. As a result, the hillock was named Sri Dwadashaditya Tila, and the spot where Krishna’s perspiration collected was called Praskandan ghat.
