Daan-Ghati is one of the two main temple structures inGovardhan, nearMathura,India. The other temple structure is called Dasvisa.
It is involved in theGovardhan Puja,a 21 kilometre circumambulation of the hill that it is believed Krishna lifted with hislittle finger to protect his worshipers from the wrath ofIndra, the Vedic god of rain.[1][2]
Over time, this temple has slowly taken over the place of main temple of the town. Also, there has been much commercialization of the temple structure. With ever-growing touristic importance of the place, the commercial interests are growing and at times conflicts with religious worship.
The temple reform was started by a Daan-Ghati management committee, established in the 1970s byShri Gopal Prasad Kaushik, one of the prominent citizens of the town. In 2019, the temple committee approached the State Human Rights Commission alleging that the temple's assistant manager had embezzled over 100 millionrupees from temple funds.[3]
