From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
These two villages were the site of Krishna’s cow herding pastimes (gocharana-lila) and according to the Bhakti-ratnakar, the two villages were given their names by the cowherd men, “See the two villages Taroli and Varoli which were named by the gopas.” There are no holy places to be seen in these two villages, but there is a kunda at Taroli known as the Swami Baba-kunda, also called Taroli- kunda, which is said to possess medicinal properties because once a ‘siddha baba’ performed penance there. It is said that a variety of skin diseases like white leprosy can be cured by covering one’s body with mud and then bathing in the kunda. The village of Varoli is 2km to the west of Tarauli.
