The pastime about this place is that once there was a poor brahmana who had a daughter of marriageable age. The brahmana was so poor that he had no money to give a suitable dowry for his daughter. The brahmana’s wife had a sharp tongue and she sent her husband out to beg and told him not to come back without a suitable dowry. He approached Krishna at this place to help him. Krishna then arranged for him to get golden jewelry equal to the weight of Srimati Radharani.

Directions: This place is on top of the hills here, next to the Kushal Bihari (Jaipur) temple. It is about 20m (60 feet) from the Kushal Bihari temple, on the same side as Mayur Kutir.
