Ter Kadamba means “calling the cows”. Here, Krsna called the gopis and performed the rasa dance. Here, Rupa Gosvami practiced his bhajana and sadhana. Radha used to cook for Krsna.

This is the place where Krsna decorated Radharani’s feet. This is the location of Radharani’s mother-in-law’s house. Lila about how Radha married Krsna and not Ayan Ghosh. Radha apparently married Ayan Ghosh only to establish parakiya-bhava, the lover’s love. Everyone in madhurya-rasa has a female body.

This mountain is called Sakhi Giri Parvata because Krishna and the sakhis performed many lilas here.
Lila: One sakhi tied Lalita-devi’s sari and Krishna’s dhoti together.
Krishna used to play with His friends here.
People are taking stones away from here.
A saint with long hair got caught on thorns on this mountain, and Krishna released his hair.
Now we will go to Surya-kunda.
