Bharadvaja-tila is situated north-west of Ganga-nagara. When Srinivasa Acarya performed parikrama of Navadvipa-dhama, Bharadvaja-tila was a prosperous town situated on a hill (tila). The corrupted form of the name Bharadvaja-tila is Bharuidanga. While visiting different holy places, Bharadvaja Rishi came here from Prayaga and worshipped Sri Gaurahari at Cakrahrida or Cakadaha, on the Ganga’s bank.

Bharadvaja Rishi was a disciple of the original poet Valmiki and he was very powerful. During His exile to the forest, Sri Ramacandra came to his asrama together with Sitaji and Lakshmana. Bharadvaja Rishi was omniscient, and knew where the coming incarnation of Sriman Mahaprabhu would perform His pastimes; therefore he came to Navadvipa-dhama.
