Seva Kunj
सेवा कुंज
Another sacred grove that rivals Nidhivan. Legend says Krishna dressed Radha's hair here, and the grove contains a shrine and the Lalita Sarovar pond.
Seva Kunj is a small enclosed sacred grove in the old town of Vrindavan. Legend says Krishna once dressed Radha's hair and massaged her feet here as a gesture of service (Seva). The Lang Mahal, the Lalita Sarovar pond and the low, twisted trees resemble those of Nidhivan, and the grove is also cleared after sunset. Devotees often sit quietly here to chant. It is not large, and a visit takes about 20 minutes. It is within walking distance of Nidhivan and the Radha Vallabh Temple, so the three can form a half-day old-town route. Monkeys are common, so stay alert.
