Located on the NH2 highway, {{Convert|90|km}} from the Delhi Badarpur Border, the town lies {{Convert|20|km}} from the neighboring city of Kosi Kalan and {{Convert|10|km}} from Tahashil Chhata. HistoryIt is here that the Brahma Vimohan Leela took place during Krishna's time. Bewildered by the simplicity of child Krishna, Brahma the creator of universe, stole the calves and cowherd boys of Krishna. Realizing this, child Krishna expanded Himself into the same number of calves and cowherd boys and the life remained undisturbed in Braj. Brahma realized his mistake and did some penance at the Brahma Jhaadi here (Chaumuha) and apologized to Krishna at this place. He did so after bathing in the nearby Chandra Sarovar (which has partly been restored by The Braj Foundation). Because of this pastime the village has been named Chaumuha, indicating four heads of Brahma. There are only two temples of Brahma Ji in the world; one in Pushkar (Ajmer) and the other in Chaumuha. DemographicsAs of the 2012 Indian census,[1] the town had a population of 9,881 of which 54 per cent were male and 46% female. Literacy is higher than the national average at close to 95% for men and 70% for women, while 45% per cent of the population is under six years of age. ReligionTemples in Chaumuhan
History of the site connected to Lord Brahma's bewildermentIt is said that once during his numerous mischievous leelas, Krishna drank buttermilk from a friend's cup. Lord Brahma, the creator, 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 very suspicious of Krishna's real nature and to test it he made all cows and cowherd friends of Krishna disappear. Krishna at once understood this divine game and extended himself so that he himself took the form of all his missing cows and cowherd friends to replace them so that their absence would go unnoticed.Brahma realizing his mistake immediately asked for forgiveness through penance which he did at the site where Chandrasarovar is located today. According to legend Lord Brahma brought the Moon God (Chandra) with him who built this famous Chandrasarovar and in its clean and pure waters Brahma took a bath before he began his penance. As is obvious, the village gets its name ‘Chaumuha’ meaning the four heads of Brahma.
