Abstract :

The cultural Landscape of Braj region is an interesting case of the close symbiosis between its sacred geography, environmental values and religious pilgrimage. The 84 kosi braj mandal parikrama initiating at Mathura, includes various sacred sites associated with Lord Krishna’s life. Barsana, being the birthplace of Radha Rani, holds special importance in this parikrama. It is closely linked with the divine pastimes of Radha and Krishna allowing pilgrims to spiritually connect with their love and devotion. Numerous devotees flock to Barsana and complete its parikrama sometimes on foot to witness the divinity and spirituality associated with the place. Over time an unprecedented influx of pilgrims/tourists coupled with manifold urban growth patterns have impacted the ethos of the place. The need for revitalization of Barsana’s Sacred Landscape is to help restore them to their former health at least, while amalgamating ways to strengthen the way to prosperity through holistic mechanisms and fostered cooperation.
