Sacred Kishori Kund Restored in Braj
Kishori Kund, a sacred lake in Braj, was in very bad shape for a long time.
It was dirty and full of waste, which made it unsafe for people, animals, and birds.
Two organizations, Anandana – The Coca-Cola India Foundation and Say Earth, worked together with the local community to clean it up.
They removed all the waste, fixed the water channels, and made the area around the lake nice and safe.
Now, the lake is clean and beautiful again, and people can enjoy spending time there.
The project shows how working together can make a big difference in protecting important places and making them better for everyone.
Kishori Kund in Braj was severely degraded due to sewage and solid waste, making it unsafe and losing its spiritual importance.
Anandana – The Coca-Cola India Foundation and Say Earth collaborated with the local community to restore the ~18,000 square meter lake.
Restoration efforts included desilting, waste removal, water channel treatment, embankment strengthening, and landscape improvements.
The restored Kund is now a clean, accessible, and culturally significant space for residents and pilgrims.
The initiative is part of Coca-Cola India’s Refreshing Difference campaign, focusing on responsible water management and community partnerships.
