Temple Speciality
<p><strong>Nidhivan</strong> (Hindi: निधिवन), (meaning, <strong>Sacred Forest</strong>) is one of the sacred 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.</p> <p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Radharani_Nidhivan.jpg/220px-Radharani_Nidhivan.jpg" style="height:111px; width:220px" /></p> <p>Sri Bansichori Radharani Temple in Nidhivan, the shrine is dedicated to the event when Radha stole Krishna's flute.</p> <p>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 <em>Sri Bansichori Radharani Temple</em>, 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 the cowherds asked for water amidst of their tiring dance.</p>
