Kumudavana Forest

Google

Krishna and his friends would come and play in this forest. Kumuda means “water-lilies”. During Krishna’s time, beautiful water lilies grew here. Kumuda is a bright red flower that used to grow in abundance here and that is why this forest got the name Kumudavana. This is the smallest of the 12 forests. It has a parikrama of 1½ km (1 mile).
In the Kumudavana forest, on the bank of Padma Kunda, is a small temple dedicated to Lord Kapila. He performed austerities here during Treta-yuga, on the bank of Padma Kunda.

According to the Varaha Purana if one takes bath in Padma Kunda (Kumuda Kunda) he acquires all the knowledge of the Vedic literature. The Kapila temple is very small 2½ m by 2½ m (8 ft by 8 ft). In this temple is a small Deity of Kapila about 40cm (1 ft) high. This temple is about 4m (12 ft) from the kunda.

How To Get Here Kumudavana is about 9 km (6 miles) from Mathura. It is located half a kilometre off the road that goes between Mathura and Sonk (Sonk Road). If you are driving from Vrindavana you get on the main Delhi-Agra road going towards Agra. You drive about 15 minutes on this road until you reach the Mathura-Sonk Road. You make a right on this road going towards Sonk. After about 8km you reach a 1m (3 ft) high concrete sign on your left, which has an arrow on it pointing to the right saying Uchagrama in Hindi.

There is a dirt road that goes to the left and a paved road that goes to the right. You make a left onto the dirt road and drive about a minute until you reach a small dirt road. You make a left, and then you follow the road around to the left. Located here is Padma Kunda.
