Adinga
This village is situated nine miles west of Mathura and four miles east of Govardhan on the main road between these places. Shri Krishna and His sakhas obstructed the sakhis way demanding tax from them. Therefore the name of the village is Adinga. The Hindi word adna means "to obstruct". Here, in Killola-kund, Shri Krishna and Balram relished joyful water-sports (jal-killola).
Madhuri Kund
Two miles south-east of Adinga is Madhuri-kund, the charming place of Radha's dear sakhi Madhuri. It is also the place where the poet Madhuri dasaji performed his bhajan.
Mayur Grama
This place is situated two miles south-west of Bahulavan. After seeing the dancing of the peacocks (mayur) here, Shri Krishna started dancing with great pleasure in the midst of His beloved gopis. The peacocks very happily gave one of their beautiful multi-coloured feathers as an offering to Krishna, which He placed on His head. Mayur-kund is a place of darshan here.
Chhakna Grama
This village is situated near Mayur Grama. When Shri Krishna, Balram and the sakhas were out tending the cows, the gopis here fed them buttermilk (chhachh) to the boys' full satisfaction.
