From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
A little further on lies the residence of Akrūrajī. He wanted to bring Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma to his residence, but They stayed with Their father, Śrī Nanda Bābā, on the outskirts of Mathurā and promised to come to Akrūra after killing Kaṁsa.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
There is a very small shrine here containing the Deity of Akruraji and also a bas-relief Deity of Krishna and Balarama riding in Akrura’s chariot. This place is said to have been the residence of Akrura who was Krishna’s paternal uncle. On the order of King Kamsa, Akrura brought Krishna and Balarama from their home in Nandagrama to the city of Mathura on his chariot. After Krishna had killed Kamsa and reinstalled Maharaja Ugrasena on the throne of Mathura, Krishna visited Akrura’s residence. The original residence no longer exists but a small room now serves as a shrine to mark the spot.
