Radha Kund, Govardhan

One of the two most pristine kunds (ponds) located some 3 km northeast of Govardhan Hill is Radha Kund. This pond is believed to be created by Lord Krishna himself. Right next to Radha Kund, there is located another popular religious pond in Govardhan, Shyama Kund. Together, they both represent the eyes of Govardhan Hill. Not just this, this sacred pond is also said to be the spot where both Lord Krishna and Radha shared their sweetest moments.
