There used to be many kadamba trees on the banks of this kunda. Many of their leaves were in the shape of cups. It is said that Krishna and the cowherd boys would use the leaves of these trees to eat on. There is only one kadamba tree here now. Nipa means "kadamaba trees." This kunda is just about dried up. There is a well next to the kunda where water from Nipa Kunda can be gotten.

Getting there- This kunda is between the paved road and Govinda Kunda. If you are standing facing Govinda Kunda, this kunda is directly behind you, on the other side of the Radha Govinda Temple. Most people do not know about this kunda.

If you proceed along the side of Govardhana Hill you come to a large Govardhana-shila. On the shila is Radha and Krishna sitting on a swing being pushed by Radha's girlfriends. This shila is not so easy to find.

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.
