There is a small temple here known as the "sleeping temple," which has a bed, where Radha and Krishna are said to take rest in, after enjoying their pastimes here.
Nidhi means "the place where invaluable gems are found."

Tansen the famous court musician of Emperor Akbar, in the 16th century, was a favorite student of Haridas. It is said that one day Haridasa was singing on the bank of the Yamuna. Akbar was passing by and heard him singing. He had the boat stopped and he approached Haridas to become his court musician. Haridas refused, but with Haridasa's permission he took his disciple, Ramtanu Mishra, with him to Delhi. Ramtanu later became famous as Mian Tansen.

Emperor Akbar, in 1573, came to visit the Gosvamis of Vrindavana. It is believed that he met Jiva Gosvami at this time. He was taken to meet them in Nidhivana. Akbar was brought here to show him the sanctity of the place. During the days of Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, this area of Vrindavana, including Nidhivana, Seva Kunja and Nikunjavana was all one continuous forest. There was no town here, like there is today.
