Mathura-Vrindavan ,The city of Lord Krishna.

Mathura is a sacred city in Uttar Pradesh, northern India. The deity Lord Krishna is said to have been born on the site of Sri Krishna Janma Bhoomi, a Hindu temple. Dotting the Yamuna River are 25 ghats (flights of steps down to the water), of which Vishram Ghat is considered the holiest. Sati Burj is a 16th-century memorial tower. Dwarkadhish Temple has a carved entrance and a black-marble idol of Lord Krishna.

Some Famous Places to visit:- 

1. Prem Mandir


Prem Mandir is a Hindu temple in Vrindavan, Mathura, India. It is maintained by Jagadguru Kripalu Parishad, an international non-profit, educational, spiritual, charitable trust.
The complex is on a 54-acre site on the outskirts of Vrindavan, and is dedicated to Lord Radha Krishna and Sita Ram. The temple structure was established by the fifth Jagadguru, Kripalu Maharaj. Figures of Shri Krishna and his followers depicting important events surrounding the Lord’s existence cover the main temple.

2. Janm Bhoomi


The Krishna Janmasthan, at Mathura,  is important because this is where Lord Shri Krishna manifested Himself in the prison house of the cruel king Kansa and set free his father Vasudeva and his mother Devaki. His purpose was to destroy evil, protect the virtuous, and establish righteousness on a firm footing. Adjacent to the entrance of the prison cell, stands the temple where Astabhuja Maa Yogmaya manifested. The divine ambience of the sanctum sanctorum thrills the hearts of the devotees as soon as they enter the auspicious place, and a sense of conviction surges in their minds that this indeed is the place where Lord Krishna manifested Himself. 

3. Bihari ji


Dedicated to Lord Krishna, Banke Bihari Temple is one of the popular tourist attractions in Vrindavan. Built in the year 1864, the temple is located near Shri Radha Vallabh Temple. Dedicated to Lord Krishna, it is counted amongst the most visited temples in Vrindavan. In the name Banke Bihari, the term Banke stands for ‘bent at three angles’ and Bihari for ‘supreme enjoyer’. The meaning refers to the image of Lord Krishna where, while playing the flute, his right knee is bent across the left one and the right hand holds the flute. The architecture of the temple reflects a classic Rajasthani design.
