Pancha Tirtha Kunda

This place is called Pancha Tirtha because five holy places are said to be within its water. They are:
  1. Gomati,
  2. Narmada,
  3. Sarayu,
  4. Vetri and
  5. Kanchi.

It is also said that this place is called Pancha Tirtha because it has five important bathing places within it: the
  1. Ganges,
  2. Pushkar,
  3. Prayag,
  4. Kurukshetra and
  5. Gaya.

The building in front of this kunda is known as the Bharatpur Raja’s Chatri.

How To Get Here This place is on the right hand side, just after entering the town of Govardhana. It is set back from the parikrama path, behind a good-sized structure that looks like the one at Kusuma Sarovara. It is across the street from Manasi Ganga. When I came here, it was not possible to enter the enclosure that Pancha Tirtha Kunda was located in, and it is not normally open to the public.
