Baldeo
is 20km south-east of Mathura and 8.5 km south-east of Mahavan on the
road to Sadabad. It derives its name from the famous temple dedicated
to Balram, the elder brother of Lord Krishna. It was built by Shyam Das
of Delhi 200 years ago. The main image in the sanctum is that of Baldeo
or Balram with his spouse Revati. Near by is the brick lined tank, the
Kshir Sagar or Ballbhadra Kund, from where the original image housed in
the temple was found.
