Kadam Khandi-Ekachakra :Sri Gaura Nitya Nanda, Krishna Balarama & Sadbhuja Gauranga At Kadamkhandi

The small temple of Kadam Khandi marks the spot where Lord Nityananda recovered the Bankima Raya Deity from the Yamuna river, which is also called the Maudesvara River.

Kardam means clay and khandi means 'Ghata'. In the rear of the temple is a small river, the Yamuna.

It is said that the Deity of Bankima Raya was floating in the water and Lord Nityananda picked Him up and then installed Him in the temple. Thereafter, in a place known as Bhaddapura, in the village of Viracandra-pura, about half a mile west, in a place underneath a neem tree, Deity of Srimati Radharani was found. For this reason, the Radharani of Bankima Raya was known as Bhaddapurera Thakurani, the mistress of Bhaddapura.
