Importance of Brahmand Ghat
Brahmand Ghat is the spot where an infant Lord Krishna had shown the entire universe or Brahmand in his mouth to his mother Yashoda.
History of Brahmand Ghat
Brahmand Ghat is so happened that one day while playing with His friends, Lord Krishna swallowed some particles of mud. The Gopas came to mother Yashoda and informed her that her son Krishna has eaten mud. Mother Yashoda got angry at the deed of Krishna and accompanied Gopas to the place where Lord Krishna was playing, so as to scold him. On reaching she enquired Krishna if he has eaten mud but Krishna denied saying that all the Gopas are lying and he never ate mud. To prove the truth, Yashoda asked Krishna to open his mouth and show if he has not ate mud. When Krishna opened his small mouth, mother Yashoda was stunned at the sight of the whole universe revolving inside the mouth of Krishna. After having the view of such a sight inside the mouth of her Krishna she lost her senses. Lord Krishna opened his mouth wide. She stared in utter disbelief and amazement and saw the universe. Then Yashoda enquired the truth from Lord Balram who confirmed that Krishna had eaten mud. On asking Krishna again He denied that he had not ate mud.
