Naval Kund and Apsara Kund - Govardhan
Pastimes :
Naval Kund was formerly known as 'Poonch Kund' due to its proximity to Poonchri village, but later it was named after the Queen of Bharatpur, Maharani Naval. By the way, this Kund belongs to Naval Krishn (ever new Krishn), so it is called Naval Kund.
Near to Naval Kund is Apsara Kund. At this place, the most beautiful damsels of the heavenly planets danced, due to which this lake was named 'Apsara Kund'.

"Tumburu, Narad, and other Gandharvas, along with the Vidyadharas, Siddhas, and Charanas, came there to sing the glories of Lord Hari, which purify the entire world. And the wives of the demigods, filled with joy, danced together in the Lord’s honor."
Many Vaishnavas believe that Apsara Kund is named after Shri Radha as well.
Near both the lakes there is a place of Raas pastime covered with dense groves and Kadamba trees. Near these lakes, there is Apsaravihari temple, Kundeshwar Mahadev temple, and Raghav Pandit's cave, in which he performed devotion to the Lord and after him, Siddha Saint Pandit Ramkrishn Das Baba also performed devotion here.
