This small temple is on top of Govardhana Hill. The black Deity of Balarama in this temple is in a crouching position. The story of this Deity is that there was once a rasa-lila dance being done near Govardhana Hill. Balarama, who was on top of Go¬vardhana Hill in a crouching position, became so absorbed in watching the rasa dance that he took on a blackish color like Krishna.

At the foot of Govardhana, on the left of the small path that leads to the Balarama temple is the impression of Balarama's crown. It is on a rock, about 10m (30 ft) from the parikrama path.

Getting there
After leaving Govinda Kunda, if you walk on the dirt path which is right next to the hill for about five minutes, you will see this temple on top of the hill.

Navala means "evergreen." Govardhana Hill is said to resemble a peacock. This kunda is also called Punchari Kunda because this area is the tail (brunch) of Govardhana. Punchari is part of the area where Krishna performed the spring rasa dance with the gopis. On the bank of this kunda is the Navala-bihari temple.

Getting there- This kunda is right next to Apsara Kunda. This kunda is at the opposite end of Govardhana Hill from Radha Kunda.

Next to Navala Kunda, on a small hill, is a Narasimha Temple. You can get a good view of Govardhana Hill from the top of the temple, if you can get up there. Rasa Sthali This place is close to Punchari. Krishna is said to have per-formed His rasa-lila pastimes here. In this area there are tamaal and kadamba trees that are in pairs.
