songs. His samadhi is in the courtyard of the Radha Gokulananda Temple. Narottama visited all the pastime places of Lord Caitanya in Gaura Mandala and Jagannatha Puri. He arranged the famous Kheturi Mahotsava festival in Kheturi. This was the first Gaura Purnima festival to honor the appearance of Lord Caitanya.
