Govinda-Kunda
When Indra saw that the Vrajaväsis had stopped worshipping him and were worshipping Govardhana instead, he became angry. Consequently, with the intention of destroying them, he poured forth torrential rains and hurled thunderbolts upon them for seven days, but he was not successful. Finally, Lord Brahmä advised him to ask for forgiveness for his offence, and so Indra performed abhisheka of Shri krishna with the milk of Surabhi devi at this place. Shri Krishna was named “Govinda” because He nourishes and gives pleasure to all – the cows, gopas, gopis and to the land of Vraja. This place is known as Govinda-Kunda because the name-giving ceremony and abhisheka of Shri Govinda were performed here. Shri Vajranäbha established this kunda in memory of this pastime.
