Kishan Kund Temple and Inn

There are many folklores, but the most popular is this: It is believed that a waterfall flowed here, which formed a small pond. In ancient times, a sage named Kishandas lived. The king here had no children, so people told him about the Sage. The sage used to eat only leaves. The king requested him, then the sage said take the water of this pond to your palace. And make the queen take a bath with this water for 40 days. Both of you have to consume this water. Then the king got a child. Then the king built a grand pond here and renovated the earlier rainy drain to take this water to the palace.

Along with this, another story is that Lord Krishna used to come here for a walk.

But the first one seems closer to reality. Because the Kund is made to collect the pure rainwater and take it to the palace. This 35-foot-wide, 38-foot-long, and 25-foot-deep Kund gets water from rainwater as well as water that comes from the internal source of the hills. Anyway, you will like its peace here more than the story.
