Radha Kunda is surrounded by kadamba, campaka, asoka, mango, punnaga (white lotus) and bakula trees, and lavanga and vasnati creepers. The banks are decorated with different kinds of gems. Radha and Krishna swing on a gold gem-studded swing, hanging from a tree.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur gives a description of Radha Kunda in his book, Gita Mala. The banks of Radha Kunda are made of desire-fulfilling touchstones. There are hundreds of beautiful transcendental gardens surrounding the lake. The trees and creepers of the gardens are made of coral and rubies and the fruits they produce are pearls and diamonds.
Krishna Dasa Kaviraja in his Sri Govinda-lilamrita and Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti in his Sri Krishna Bhavanamrita describe Radha Kunda in the spiritual world. On the four sides of Radha Kunda are jeweled stairways leading to jeweled bathing ghats.
A jeweled bridge connects Radha Kunda with Syama Kunda. On either side of the ghats are pairs of swings. There are jeweled platforms around the stairs of the ghats, flanking gem-studded cottages.
There are many shade trees and flowering creepers. These flowering creepers have unlimited flowers. On all side of Radha Kunda are kalpa-vriksha (wish-fulfilling) trees. The bathing ghats are surrounded by various kunjas (forest groves or gardens).
