Mor Kutir is a sacred and peaceful pastime place in Barsana, connected with the divine peacock dance (Mor Leela) of Shri Radha Rani and Shri Krishna. 🦚💖
The word “Mor” means peacock, and “Kutir” means small cottage or hut.
📖 Spiritual Significance (Mor Leela)
According to Braj tradition:
Once, Shri Krishna saw peacocks dancing beautifully in joy during the monsoon season. 🌧️
Inspired by them, Krishna began dancing like a peacock.
