Bath in river yamuna

A bath in yamuna at vrindavan is said to be one hundred times more purifying than a bath in the Ganges. The reason being that even though the Ganges was once touched by the feet of Lord Vishnu, it was the Yamuna where Lord Krishna himself played and swam with his cowherd boyfriends.


He also sported in its waters with the beautiful gopi damsels of Vraja.The traditional bathing place of most pilgrims is at Kesi ghata, where Lord Krishna bathed after killing the Kesi demon.
