sites of Vrindavan, situated in the Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India.
It is considered as the most prominent site dedicated to the pastimes of
the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna and their cowherd companions,
the Gopikas. It is a common belief among devotees that Nidhivan still
witnesses the rasa-lila (dance) of Radha and Krishna during the night
and thus, to protect the forest's sanctity, Nidhivan is closed with
barricades during the night.

the event when Radha stole Krishna's flute.
The forest has numerous Tulasi trees which are short in height, but are
found in pairs and have entangled trunks. Besides the Tulasi plants, the
premises also houses a temple called Rang Mahal, where it is believed
that Radha and Krishna spend their night after the exhausting dance.
Within the premises, there is also another temple called Sri Bansichori
Radharani Temple, a shrine dedicated to Swami Haridas who created
the Banke Bihari idol, Raslila Sthali where the dance is performed and
the Lalita Pond which was believed to be made by Krishna himself, when
