A pilgrimage tour to Nandagaon is not complete if the temple of Nandisavara is not included in your itinerary. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, Nandisvara Temple also touted as Nandeshwar Temple, is situated near the Nandbhavan shrine, another important attraction in Nandgaon. The temple is a significant part of the five most sacred Lord Shiva temples in the Braj region. Today, it stands as the sentry to Nandabhavan. The literal meaning of Nandisavara is ‘the lord of Nandi’. Inside the temple, there is a Shiva Linga which is one of the oldest of its kind as it is believed to be installed by the grandson of Lord Krishna. The temple celebrates almost all the Hindu festivals, but the pious occasion of Maha Shivaratri is considered to be the major celebration of the temple. The festival is observed for over two days. On the day of Maha Shivaratri, pilgrims visit this famous temple in Nandagon with their offerings and sacred Ganga water that are offered to Lord Shiva as a part of the ritual.
