Back in the day when Nanda Maharaj, father of Krishna and Balarama was alive, children were given charge to look after calves and take care of them. Children who passed their fifth year were given charge of the cows in the pasturing grounds. To mark Krishna and Balarama’s taking charge of the cows, Nanda Maharaj decided to organize a ceremony for both of them in Vrindavan for the first time. This is also when Radha (Hindu Goddess) disguised herself as a boy to herd cows with Krishna.
