Lohvan

Lohvan : This place lies just across the Yamunä from Mathurä, approximately two miles north-east of the Mathurä–Gokula highway.
Bhakti-ratnäkara describes Lohavana as follows:
"lohavane krishnera adbhuta-gocärnanänäpuspa sugandhe vyäpita ramyasthänaethä lohajaìghäsure badhe bhagavänlohajanghavana näma hayata ihära"
“The forest of Lohavana is decorated with all varieties of trees and flowers and is one of the places where Krishna pastures His cows. It is called Lohavana because, while grazing the cows here, Shri Krishna killed Lohajanghäsura.”
At a Yamunä ghät, Krishna enjoyed boating-pastimes in the company of the gopis. These pastimes has been beautifully described in Bhakti-ratnäkara:
"yamunä-nikate yäi sriniväse kayaei ghäte krishna naukä-kridä ärambhayäse ati kautuka räi sakhira sahitedugdhädi laiyä äisena pära haite"
"dekhi, se apürva sobhä krishna mugdha haiyäeka bhite rahilena jirna naukä laiyäsri-rädhikä sakhisaha kahe bäre-bärepära kara nävika-yäiba sighra päre"
“Lohavana is a charming and delightful place adorned with attractive flowers of all kinds. Nearby, in the virtuous Yamunä, Shri Krishna performs boating-pastimes with the gopis. Disguised as a boatman, He seats the beautiful young cowherd girls in His boat and takes them out into the middle of the Yamunä’s flowing waters. Then He says, ‘My old dilapidated boat is leaking, and water is rushing in. Throw all your pots of milk and yoghurt overboard; otherwise, it will surely sink.’ The gopis beg and beseech this boatman to quickly take them to the other side of the river.”

This pastime place still lies here today, and concealed within it is Krishna’s boating-pastime with the gopis. One can also have darsana of Krishna-Kunda, Lohäsura’s cave and Shri Gopinätha here.
