Anjani Kund
Anjani Kund is a profound spiritual site located in the Hodal region. According to deep-rooted local mythology, this is the sacred spot where Lord Krishna performed a miraculous transformation. Legend narrates that during the divine Maha Raas, Mother Yashoda came searching for Krishna. To avoid her potential scolding for staying out late, Krishna jumped into the pond and emerged as Lord Hanuman. This unique legend makes it one of the rare places where Hanuman is linked directly to a Krishna pastime. The forest surrounding the kund, known as Pandav Van, adds a layer of ancient tranquility to the environment. Devotees from across the Braj region visit to seek blessings. The pond itself is believed to have healing properties. The atmosphere remains thick with chants of "Jai Bajrangbali" especially on holy days. It serves as an essential stop during the Braj Chaurasi Kos Yatra. The site is a blend of natural beauty and Vedic history. Visitors often feel a sense of timelessness while sitting by the steps of the kund.
