As legend Kalindi was the fourth wife among the eight wives of Lord Krishna collectively known as Ashtabharya. Kalindi was the daughter of Lord Surya (sun god), and considered as the deity of holy river Yamuna in India. Once Lord Krishna and Arjun went for hunting and stopped along the coast of Yamuna for rest. There they saw a beautiful young girl walking on the banks of Yamuna River. Lord Krishna asked Arjun to enquire who she was. Arjun asked her who she was for which she replied she is the daughter of Lord Surya and reside in the water of Yamuna the place given by her father. She told that she is in penance and meditating to marry Lord Krishna. Knowing all Lord Krishna marries her. Kalindi as consort plays an important role in the early life of Lord Krishna. It is believed that true devotees can remove there sin by bathing and drinking Yamuna Holy water.
