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 site to dance after sunset. Residents nearby report hearing the sounds of flutes and anklets at 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 beliefs, a 99-year-old woman living close to Nidhivan has made several intriguing revelations.

The elderly woman, Seva Devi, claims that Radha visits at night to adorn herself, leaving behind scattered clothes and chewed betel leaves. She also mentions frequently hearing the sounds of ghungroos, anklets, and flutes. After hearing these sounds, she went to her terrace, which is adjacent to Nidhivan, where her daughter-in-law joined her. Seva Devi further asserts that she hears the sound of Radha's footsteps, although no one ever sees her.

Strange Occurrences and Local Beliefs

Raj Kumari, the daughter-in-law of the elderly woman, claims that the trees around Nidhivan transform into companions at night, turning dark, and all animals and birds flee as evening approaches. She warns that anyone who sees the divine here meets a tragic end; she recounts 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 these stories has not been verified by any media outlet.
