Vrishabhanu Kund

Vrishabhanu Kund / वृषभानु कुण्ड

Vrishabhanu Kund is situated east of the village of Barsana. Maharaja Vrishabhanu bathed in this kund every morning.
He would also chant his daily mantras and perform other morning duties here. It has been described that in a different era Maharaja Vrishabhanu found Radhika in this kund while bathing.
She was a newly-born baby girl playing on a lotus flower in the water. This charming kund is surrounded on all sides by jiyala trees.
Sometimes, Radhika would bathe here and enjoy water sports together with Her sakhis. Rasika Vrajendra-nandan Shri Krishna would also bathe here, but at another ghat.
He would then dive under the water, catch hold of the gopis feet, and again emerge on His side of the pond.
Sometimes, Nand-nandan Shri Krishna would also sport with these gopis in the water and also play hide and seek.
This kund is named after Maharaja Vrishabhanu.
