Kunds or water bodies in Braj, near Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh, are believed to be divine. Shown in this picture is a pilgrim who drinks water from Radha and Shyam Kund. Folklore says that these kunds have water from every pilgrimage place in the world
Since a large number of tourists visit Mansi Ganga, another kund and a pilgrimage site in the area, its water has become highly polluted. Though bathing in the kund is prohibited, its water is lifted with the help of pumps so that pilgrims can take shower
