Kṛṣṇa, longing to meet His lover Radhika, walked along a hidden path leading to Radha-kuṇḍa.
Govinda-lilamṛta 7.1

The fresh, attractive groves surrounding Radha-kuṇḍa were unparalleled in their profound beauty and wealth of colorful flowers blooming blissful, jewel creepers.
One grove featured an excellent highly ornamented bed, surrounded by pleasing items for the pleasure of Radha-Madhava.
Every inch of Radha-kuṇḍa was saturated with absolute bliss.

The beautiful lake in the middle of the groves was always filled with sweet, clear water.
Verily, it was the form of condensed euphoria. Four gem-studded banks adorned with jeweled bathing ghaṭas surrounded the lake.
Regal kadamba trees kept the banks cool and fresh. The lake had varying depths to serve the whims of Radha-Madhava.
The lake supplied a variety of tastes in different places for Kṛṣṇa’s pleasure. Astonishing lotuses and water lilies opened and closed continuously.
The beautiful forest groves flanking the lake reflected in its waters glowing with the color of various gems.
Vṛndavana-mahimamrṭa 4.106-108

The magnificence of Radha-kuṇḍa was further enhanced by the fragrance of countless blossoming water lilies, lotuses, blue lotuses and night lotuses,
along with the joyous playing and sweet warbling of swans, cranes, ducks and pairs of cakravakas.
Hundreds of swarms of bees buzzed in all directions around the lake.
Vṛndavana-mahimamrṭa 3.103

On the four sides of Radha-kuṇḍa were platforms with steps leading down to the water.
The pair of trees standing beside each platform supported a wonderful swing, richly decorated with flowers and fine cloth.
The swings were suspended from bakula trees in the north, kadamba—east, campaka— south and mango—west.
There was a picturesque footbridge on pillars in the south corner of Radhakuṇḍa, which extended east to Syama-kuṇḍa.
The waters of both kuṇḍas mixed under the bridge.
Govinda-lilamṛta 7.4-6

Gardens of madhavi creepers beautified the four corners of Radha-kuṇḍa, which were surrounded on all sides with groves of reeds, nagakesara and asoka trees.
The many shade trees and creepers around Radha-kuṇḍa, which were bending over from the weight of their abundant fruits and flowers,
had jewelled platforms around their bases. These platforms had unusual steps that were very comfortable to sit on because they were warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Each platform had a unique size and shape. Some extended up to the knees and others to the navel, chest, or neck.

Some platforms were square, round, six, seven or eight-sided. The glossy, polished gem surfaces of the platforms appeared like waves of water.
Foolish birds, attempting to quench their thirst, often mistook them for water and collided into them.
Radha-Madhava always sat on these fabulous platforms talking and joking with Their sakhis.

Groves of densely foliated, flowering trees embraced by creepers bearing clusters of flowers covered the flat area around the platforms.
The expansive groves of the various sakhis were just beyond these trees. There were patches of banana trees full of cooling leaves and bunches of ripe and unripe fruits.
Next were flower gardens surrounded by fruit orchards.
A dazzling jewelled temple, connected to the northern shore by a bridge, sat on an island in the middle of Radha-kuṇḍa.

The good qualities of each season continually served the groves around Radha-kuṇḍa.
Vṛnda and Her maidservants regularly swept the paths, courtyards, and forest cottages and sprinkled them with scented water.
The many kuñja gates and roofs of flowers, and the flower bedecked archways, swings, courtyards and platforms added to the celestial atmosphere.

Comfortable flowerbeds situated on the soft earth waited inside the pastime cottages.
The beds were made in layers beginning with leaves, and then lotus petals topped with a layer of soft, stem-less fragrant flowers.
Scattered around the beds were flower pillows and cushions shaped like the moon.
Goblets full of honey wine, boxes full of betel nuts and sweets, and golden jugs of fresh cool drinking water sat on tables next to the beds.
Govinda-lilamṛta 7.4-17

The bowers resounded with the incredibly sweet singing of myna birds and affectionate parrots discussing the intimate pastimes of Radha-Madhava.
The cuckoos pleased everyone with their sweet “Kuhu, kuhu.”
The madly dancing peacocks and the tumultuous joyful warbling of flocks of birds further enhanced the charm of the groves.
Vṛndavana-mahimamrṭa 4.105

As soon as the pigeons, turtledoves and catakas saw Kṛṣṇa, their bodies swelled in joy and they enlivened the forest of Radha-kuṇḍa with their happy chirping,
which sounded like nectar for the ears.

The wise cakora birds rejecting the feeble splendor of the moon, preferred to drink the nectarean moonlight of Kṛṣṇa’s lovely face, which defeated countless full moons.
The banks and the water of Radha-kuṇḍa manifested wonderful splendor to assist Radha-Madhava’s confidential pastimes.
The abundant trees and creepers in the groves around Radha-kuṇḍa were bending over from the weight of their buds, flowers, new leaves, unripe, half-ripe and ripened fruits.

Seeing the clusters of white lotus flowers in Radha-kuṇḍa, one could conjecture that the kuṇḍa was laughing at the inferior beauty of the ocean of milk.
Next to Radha-kuṇḍa was a lake named Syamakuṇḍa created by the touch of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus foot.

The kuñjas of Radha’s eight chief sakhis (Lalita, Visakha, Raṅgadevi etc.) began in the north and continued to the northwest of Radha-kuṇḍa.
With great love, the sakhis diligently decorated the kuñjas with their own hands to serve the pastimes of Radha-Madhava.
Small groves, craft rooms, and artistically landscaped gardens bisected by narrow lanes lined by rows of shady trees extended outwards from the kuñjas.

The lanes were made of pure crystal studded with blue sapphires, creating the effect of little creeks with small waves.
The gates and walls separating the various kuñjas were inlaid with such astonishing jewel work that a wall was easily mistaken for a door and a door mistaken for a wall.
