The story of Bade Dauji begins with Vajranabh, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna, who wished to know how his ancestors truly looked. Since he had never seen them, he approached Uttara, the wife of Abhimanyu, who had witnessed their divine forms. Guided by her vivid descriptions, Vajranabh sculpted several deities, including Govind Dev Ji and Bade Dauji.
Centuries later, during the reign of Aurangzeb, the beloved deity Govind Dev Ji was taken to Jaipur for protection, where he continues to be venerated today. However, Bade Dauji remained in Vrindavan, standing as a testament to the unwavering presence of Lord Balaram in this holy land. Yet, despite its historical and spiritual significance, Bade Dauji’s temple has not seen the development it deserves.
