Mysteries of Nidhivan: Local Claims of Divine Encounters
The Enigmatic Nidhivan
Mathura. Nidhivan in Vrindavan is shrouded in mystery, with many locals asserting that Lord Krishna and Radha visit the area to dance at dusk. Residents living nearby report hearing the sounds of flutes and anklets during the night. Most homes in the vicinity lack windows, as it is believed that anyone who sees Radha will either go mad or face dire consequences. Amidst these claims, an elderly woman from the neighborhood has made several intriguing revelations. She is said to be around 99 years old.
Elderly Woman's Claims
The elderly resident, Seva Devi, asserts that Radha visits at night to adorn herself, leaving behind scattered clothes and chewed betel leaves. She also claims to have frequently heard the sounds of ghungroos, anklets, and flutes. Following this, she went to her terrace, which is adjacent to Nidhivan, where her daughter-in-law joined her. Seva Devi further stated that she hears the sound of Radha's footsteps, yet no one ever sees her.
Strange Occurrences
Additionally, Raj Kumari, the elderly woman's daughter-in-law, claims that the trees transform into companions at night, darkening as evening falls, causing all animals and birds to flee the area. She warns that anyone who sees the divine here meets a tragic end; she recounted an incident from two years ago when a foreigner who stayed in Nidhivan did not survive until morning. It is important to note that these claims are made by locals, and the authenticity of such statements has not been verified by any media outlet.
