Panchamam Bahulam Naam Vananaam Vanmuttamam.
Tatra Gato Naro Devi ! Agnisthanam Sa Gachchati.
- Aadi Varaha Purana
There is a fifth forest called Bahulavan; one who takes a bath here easily attains the abode of the fire God.
Bahula Shri Hareh Patni Tatra Tishthati Sarvada.
Tasmin Padmavane Rajan! Bahu Punyafalani Cha.
- Skanda Purana
“In this sacred abode, dwells Bahula, the revered wife of Shri Hari. A profound source of divine blessings awaits those who immerse themselves in the holy waters of Padmavan, nestled within the enchanting Bahulavan Kund. For it is here that the benevolent Lord Vishnu and his divine consort, Lakshmi Ji, graciously reside. Engaging in this purifying act bestows abundant merit upon the fortunate souls who partake.”
Here One can see the Baithak place of Mahaprabhu Shri Vallabhacharya Ji.
Legend has it that within this very realm, an extraordinary event unfolded. A gentle cow named Bahula found herself encircled by a formidable tiger, driven by a predatory instinct. The cow assured the tiger that she would return after feeding milk to her newly born calf, and returned to her master Brahmin's house. After telling the promise given by her to the tiger, she asked her calf to drink milk to its fullest, but the calf also insisted on going with his mother without drinking milk. Keeping both of them at home, the Brahmin got ready to go himself to become the prey of the tiger. At last, all these three reached near the tiger. All three wanted to sacrifice themselves to the tiger. Meanwhile, Shri Krishna appeared there. After that, Tiger's heart was changed. By the grace of Shri Krishna, the Brahmin, along with the cow and the calf returned home safely.
Within this sacred expanse, there are two expansive water bodies renowned as Balaram-Kund and Man-Sarovar.
There is an ancient temple of Bahula-Bihari Ji. Here, devotees are blessed with the divine darshan of both the revered Bahula cow and the magnanimous tiger. Due to this, this place is famous by the name 'Bahulavan'.
Bahula Van is now known as ‘Bati’ village.
Location :
