Pastime :
In this Mor Van of Nandgaon, Shri Krishn used to come to graze his cows, and then he would take them to Mor Kund to quench their thirst.
One day Shri Radharani came here with her beloved peacock. Shri Radha said to Shri Krishn "Will you dance with my peacock", Shri Krishn replied, "Hey it is a bird, how will it dance with me". On this Shri Radha said "This is my peacock, and it knows well how to dance", Shri Krishn said "Okay". After this, Shri Radharani placed Her Lotus Hand on the back of Her peacock, due to which the art of dancing was infused inside the peacock and Shri Krishn's dance with the peacock started. By the grace of Shri Radha, the peacock was victorious in the dance and Shri Krishn was defeated. In the middle of the dance, a feather of the peacock broke off and fell to the ground. Considering that peacock feather as Prasad of Shri Radharani, Shri Krishn picked it up and wore it in his crown forever. Then in order to please Shri Krishn, Shri Radha danced with Him in the form of a peacock at this place, due to which the name of this forest was named Mor Van and the name of the Kund was Mor Kund (Mor means peacock). Lord Shiva himself had come to see this wonderful Raas dance. Nearby is the temple of Lord Shiva, Konkeshwar Mahadev.
The Mor Kund is mentioned in the 56 Kundas of Nandgaon.
Location :
