'''Chaumuhan''' ([[Devanagari]]: {{lang|sa|चौमुहां}}; :{{IAST|Chaumuhanā}}) is a town and a ''[[nagar panchayat]]'' in the [[Mathura district]] of the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]].

== Geography ==
Chaumuhan is located on the NH2 highway, {{Convert|90|km}} from the [[Delhi]] [[Badarpur, Delhi|Badarpur]] Border. It lies {{Convert|20|km}} from the neighboring city of [[Kosi Kalan]] and {{Convert|10|km}} from Tahashil [[Chhata]].

== History ==
[[Brahma]] Vimohan Leela took place during [[Krishna]]'s time. Bewildered by the simplicity of [[Krishna]] as a child, [[Brahma]] stole Krishna's calves and cowherds. Realizing this, [[Krishna]] expanded into the same number of calves and cowherds and life remained undisturbed in Braj. Brahma realized his mistake and did penance at the [[Brahma]] Jhaadi (Chaumuha) and apologized to [[Krishna]] there. He did so after bathing in the nearby Chandra Sarovar (which was partly restored by the Braj Foundation). Because of this pastime the village was named Chaumuha, indicating four heads of [[Brahma]]. Only two temples of [[Brahma]] Ji exist; one in [[Pushkar]] ([[Ajmer]]) and the other in Chaumuha.

==Demographics==
As of the 2012 Indian census, the town had a population of 9,881 of which 54% were male and 46% female. Literacy is higher than the national average at close to 95% for men and 70% for women, and 45% per cent of the population is under age six.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archivedate=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|accessdate=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}}</ref>

=== History connected to Lord Brahma's bewilderment ===
It is said that once during a ''leela'', Krishna drank buttermilk from a friend's cup. Lord Brahma was amazed at the act especially since Krishna was known to be an incarnation of Vishnu and drinking from a mortal's used cup was unacceptable behavior from a God.

Lord Brahma then grew suspicious and to test him he made all cows and cowherd friends of Krishna disappear. Krishna at once understood this divine game and extended himself to take the form of all his missing cows and cowherd friends to replace them so that their absence would go unnoticed. Brahma realized his mistake and asked forgiveness through penance that he did at the site that became Chandrasarovar. Lord Brahma brought the Moon God (Chandra) with him who built Chandrasarovar. In its clean and pure waters Brahma bathed before beginning his penance.
