'''Gokul''' or '''Tiruvaaippadi''' is one of the "[[Divya Desams]]", the 108 temples of [[Vishnu]] revered by the 12 poet saints, or [[Alwars]].<ref>''108 Vaishnavite Divya Desams: Divya desams in Malai Nadu and Vada Nadu''. M. S. Ramesh, Tirumalai-Tirupati Devasthanam.</ref>  located in [[Gokul]] in [[Mathura district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It is located 15&nbsp;km south-east of [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]]. It was the site of [[Sri Krishna|Krishna]]s childhood past-times.
==In Vedic Scripture==
Lord [[Krishna]], who spent his childhood days in [[Gokul]] dances over the subdued [[Kaliya]] Naag in river [[Yamuna]], while seen on the banks are people of Gokula, Krishna's father [[Nanda (mythology)|Nanda]]  Baba and his brother [[Balarama]].  The Aichar Kuruvai chapter describes the event.  The association of Nappinnai, the beloved shepherd girl with [[Krishna]] is peculiar to [[Tamil people|Tamil]] tradition like the huntress Valli with Lord [[Muruga]].  According to some scholars, the Radha cult of later times was close to the ancient Nappinai cult of [[Tamil Nadu]].<ref>''Temples of Kr̥ṣṇa in South India: history, art, and traditions in Tamilnāḍu''.T.
