From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Ludhaulī lies half a mile west of Pīsāī-gaon. Here Lalitā arranged for Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to meet. This place became known as Ludhaulī because both Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa hankered (lubdha) to meet each other here. Outside the village to the north is Lalitā-kuṇḍa, where Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa’s meeting took place. On the eastern bank of this kuṇḍa is a temple of Lalitā-Bihārījī.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
There is a lake in the north of the village known as Lalita-kunda, which is where Lalita-sakhi made special arrangements for a secret meeting between the ‘divine lovers’ Radha and Krishna as They were longing to meet one-another. The name of the village is derived from the word ‘lubdha’ which means ‘longing’ or ‘hankering’. Located in the nearby forest is a rasa-mandala platform commemorating the rasa-lila that took place here between Krishna and the gopis. It is also said that after the battle of Kurukshetra, Ashvattama, the son of Dronacharya, who had mercilessly killed the five sleeping sons of the Pandava, spent a number of years performing penance in this same forest.
