"jhula jhule radha damodara vrndavana men
kaisi cchayi hariyali ali kunjan men"

Jhulan Yatra has been inspired by the romance of Krishna and Radha, in the idyllic Vrindavan, where the divine lovers along with their cowherd friends and gopis took part in joyful swinging in the cool monsoon season. This finds mention in literature, such as the Bhagavata Purana, the Harivamsa, and the Gita Govinda, and the metaphor of the swing of the monsoon or 'Sawan Ke Jhuley' have since been used by poets and songwriters to describe the romantic feeling that permeates the rainy season.
