Description

Rajashekhara Dasa
From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This is said to be the village where Krishna’s paternal grandmother lived. Her name was Variyasi Devi, and she was the wife of Parjanya Maharaja, the father of Nanda Maharaja.
The word ‘didima’, means ‘grandmother’, and the name of the village is derived from the word ‘didavali’, or the ‘grandmother’s place’. In the village one can see Didavali-kunda and a temple dedicated to Lord Narasinghadeva.
