Beautiful step well located in Mathura near Janam bhoomi. The word Potra means clothes. The Kund is believed to be place where Devaki Vasudev often came here to wash clothes of Krishna out of love. The Kund is situated very close to the Janam bhoomi and is connected with Yamuna river deep through pipeline. It never runs dry and is decorated and Illumined by colorful lights during night during festivals. It is also believed to have the potency to absolve one of all sins if taken bath in this Kund.Hari Bol..
This kund is really amazing I enjoyed all time in it
It also called pavitra kund because its purify the soul ,
Adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi, a large stepwell stands enclosed within a locked railing known as Potra Kund...The story goes that Devaki (Krishna’s mother) washed her children’s clothes (potra) in this kund (pond)...It is fed by the Yamuna River, which flows 3 KM away, through a network of underground pipes...
Potrā-kuṇḍa was originally within the walls of Kaṁsa’s gigantic prison. Śrī Vasudeva and Devakī would bathe here, and it is said that Devakī’s clothes were washed here after the delivery of her sons. The pond was formerly called Pavitrā-kuṇḍa (pavitrā meaning “pure”), but in the course of time, it became known as Potrā-kuṇḍa.Excerpt from the book Sri Vraja-mandal Parikrama by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja
It is believed that Devki and Vasudev used to wash their baby clothes in this Kund. The place was first known as Pavitra Kund but with the time it was pronounced as Potra Kund. Potra means clothes, thus the name was given Potra Kund to this place.Maa Devki washed Krishna’s clothes in this Kund after his birth. This step-well is adjacent to Krishna Janam Bhumi and is enclosed in the locked railings. Connected to the pious river Yamuna through underground pipelines, this kund is the most ancient places in the city.
Potra Kund is closed due to security reasons , it only opens during Janmashtami. Their was a myth that the clothes of Infant Lord Krishna were washed by their Parents Mata Devki and Pita Vasudeva in this Kund.
Potara Kund is one of the well known and huge kunds in Mathura, Made of red sandstone, this kund involves numerous stairs. This kund is encompassed by different sanctuaries and places of worship that are accepted to have been worked amid the fanciful circumstances.

Potra Kund situated near Krishna Janm Bhumi, Fair is organized here during Janmasthmi festival. It is believed that krishnas childhood clothes were washed in this Kund
Its a large step well, just opposite to Krishna Janm Sthal. Although, the government has restricted littering and entry too is restricted in this kund, the water quality is getting bad to worse.Mythology has it, this was Lord Krishnas bathing pond.
Very huge kund in whole Mathura city oldest kund where Lord Krishna usually takes bath with his friends.
Potra kund is a large kund which even have some ancient building surrounding it... Although this potra kund was closed at the time I visited it but I could see how beautiful it was at that time. It had a boat inside and looked a lot larger than what it looks like in pictures of google. I would suggest that if anyone is visiting Mathura he/she must visit it with their family or friends as it will increase your joy and love for this place.राधे राधे !
Potra Kund is situated just beside Shree Krishna Janam Bhoomi Temple Mathura UP India. Kund is beautifully maintained by the authorities of Mathura and being located in the heart of the city and surrounded by thickly populated area it is worth seeing and must seeing place of Mathura. I liked the total area.
No water in kund but it is a place of interest near shri krishna jNm sthaan

Potra kund is just next to Shri Krishna janam bhoomi temple. It is an ancient kund. It is said that Vasudev ji and Devki mata used to wash their clothes in this kund while they were in kamsas prison. Though It is no more allowed to enter the kund to protect it from uncleanliness caused by public yet we can have its view from outside, the water and nearby stairs look clean and beautiful.

Mathura is considered one of the most sacred soil of India. Potara Kund which means holy door. This door shaped is made of sandstone and here is made of old Hindu method.There is a huge tank named Potra Kund near the birthplace of Shri Krishna. It is said that the mother of Lord Krishna cleaned the clothes of God after the birth of Shri Krishna in this tank, hence the name of this tank is called Potra Kund.
