Mathura Vrindavan Tour
|
The Shri Krishna Janmbhoomi
(birthplace of Lord Krishna) is the main attraction of
Mathura and an important pilgrimage for the Hindus. A
stone slab marks the original spot of the birth of Lord
Krishna. The earlier Kesava Deo temple had the room where
Lord Krishna was born. According to legends, Lord Krishna
was born in a small prison room where the tyrant ruler
Kansa held his parents captive. |
Mathura (Brajbhoomi) is located
in the western part of the state of Uttar Pradesh in the
northern region of India. It is a part of the great northern
plains and is situated on the western bank of the river
Yamuna.
Vrindavan is 10 km from Mathura and it is associated with
the childhood exploits of Lord Krishna. Like Mathura,
Vrindavan is also famous for its temples. There are about
4,000 temples in Vrindavan. The main temples are Govind
Dev Temple, Rangaji temple, Bankey Bihari temple, Radha
Ballabh temple, Madan Mohan temple, Pagal Baba temple
and the Nidhi Van temple.
