Godrumadvipa, an island of
Navadvipa in
Nadia District, is situated on the eastern side of the
Ganges.
Legend has it that in the Dvapara Yuga, a surabhi cow and
Lord Indra performed austerities and worshipped Lord Chaitanya under a holy banyan tree. As Surabhi is believed to stay in Godrumadvipa eternally, the place is called Godrumadvipa.
Godrumadvipa is the home of Nanda Maharaja. Gada Gacha,
Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s House
Suvarna Bihara, Hari-Hara Ksetra and Amra Ghata are the interesting spots in the vicinity. Godrumadvipa is about an hour's drive from
Mayapur.
