    From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:

    It is said that this is the village where Gargamuni, the family priest of Nanda Maharaja had his ashrama and where he had his meeting place (baithaka). Gargamuni, who is also known as Gargacharya, performed the name giving ceremony of Krishna and Balarama and also made various astronomical calculations about both past and future events in Their lives. It is also said that both Krishna and Balarama came here to this ashrama to receive instructions from Gargamuni. There is a Radha Krishna temple in the village containing the Deity of Gargamuni. Next to this temple is Dhoni-kunda, where it is said Krishna was once milking a cow and knocked over the milk pale (dhoni), and the milk that spilled out of the pale caused this kunda to form.
