About Seva Kunj
Seva Kunj (also called Nikunj Van) is a garden of creepers and tulsi in old Vrindavan. Devotees believe that here Krishna served Radha Rani – decorating her hair and pressing her feet – and that the divine couple still come here at night. The garden is closed after the evening aarti.
Inside is the Rang Mahal and the Lalita Kund, a small pond said to have been dug by Krishna for Lalita Sakhi. It is a peaceful place and a short walk from Banke Bihari Temple and Radha Damodar Temple.

A quiet garden in old Vrindavan
Seva Kunj, also called Nikunj Van, is a garden of creepers and tulsi in the old part of Vrindavan. Devotees believe Krishna served Radha Rani here – combing her hair and decorating her – and that the divine couple still come at night. Inside is the Rang Mahal with a small shrine and the Lalita Kund, a pond said to have been made by Krishna for Lalita Sakhi.
The garden is peaceful in the morning, and it is easy to sit for a few minutes and read or chant.
Timings to keep in mind
Like Nidhivan, Seva Kunj is closed at night. In winter it closes earliest of the Vrindavan temples – about 6:30 PM – so do not leave it for the end of the day. Monkeys are around, so keep glasses and phones safe.
Visiting by car
Your driver drops you at the parking nearest to the old town, and you walk through the lanes. Seva Kunj is close to Radha Damodar, Nidhivan, Banke Bihari and Radha Vallabh, so you can see five temples on foot in one morning. Book a Mathura to Vrindavan taxi or a full Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car.
