Seva Kunj

Being the grove associated with the evening ras leela, and with the belief that it is vacated after dark.

Before dark, and that is the point rather than an inconvenience — the grove is vacated at dusk and nobody remains inside overnight. Plan it for daylight. We usually place it in the middle of a Vrindavan day so the evening is free for a temple that is at its best after sunset.

This is Seva Kunj, the grove in Vrindavan. Searches for this name also return a hospital in Indore, which is unrelated.

We do not publish fixed hours for any temple, and it is worth being wary of sites that do. Darshan timings across Braj move with the season, the festival calendar and the temple’s own decision, and most temples close for several hours around the middle of the day. Tell us your date and we will confirm the current timings before you travel, then build the day around them rather than against them.

Banke Bihari, Nidhivan and Radha Raman are the natural additions — all close enough to do on the same run. Tell us how long you have and we will sequence the stops so you are not crossing Vrindavan twice.

No. The same vehicle and driver stay with you for the whole day, so there is nothing to arrange at the other end and nothing to negotiate on the street afterwards.
