TITLE- i am someone who can visit the same place multiple times and never get bored of it especially if it is a religious town. I have been to Mathura-Vrindavan twice and will be visiting again for the third time. From religious wonders to temples with beautiful architecture and delicious cuisine, the experience of Vrindavan is never the same. If you are planning to visit Braj Mandal, here are some things you must include in your list to make your Braj trip memorable.

Discription:-
Cultural heritage of Braj
Krishna Janmasthan Mathura - where Lord Krishna is believed to have taken his first incarnation.
.
Kund of Braj Region
Discription:-
Visiting the Kunds is an important part of the religious journey in the Braj region. These Kund places have their own historical and spiritual significance, which reflects the culture and devotion of the Braj region.
Potra Kund - is very close to Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura and holds an important place in Mathura, which is a very sacred place for the devotees of Lord Krishna. This is a huge pond made of red sandstone, with stairs to reach its holy water. According to mythology, it is believed that after the birth of Lord Shri Krishna, Mother Devaki washed his first clothes in this pond. And the word “Potra” means “clothes”, so this pond came to be called Potra Kund. During Krishna Janmashtami, a large number of devotees and tourists come here. At night, there is also a beautiful fountain show in this pond, which attracts tourists. At present, no one is allowed to enter the pond due to security reasons .
.
Discription-
Though all the Kunds have their own mythological story and significance, I liked Radha Kund the best.Because when I came to Radha Kund while visiting the ponds, I parked my motorcycle near the entrance of the pond and sat in a nice shady place on the steps of the pond.Then an old man came and started telling the story of Radha ji’s divine love. I was mesmerized while listening to him and my hair stood on end.Then he said that since you have come here, you should also do Puja Aarti. Then I performed Aarti and left from there.
