Was Mathura ever on your radar until now? Amar Chitra Katha novels, which represent the tales of Lord Krishna, were undoubtedly among your first memories. Is it possible that your grandma was the one who read you tales of Krishna's lovable antics as a child? All the legends mentioned Mathura, where he was born. At that time, Mathura didn't seem like a location; it felt more like a character, full of life and motion.
Many myths and stories surround the city of Mathura, which has a very rich cultural legacy. As a result, it is recognised as one of India's seven sacred cities by Hindus. Mathura's allure continues to draw tourists from around India and beyond, even in the current day. It's a popular tourist destination for a reason. Why should you visit Mathura? The answer is simple – it has a surreal beauty that you won't find in your typical tourist destination.
The temple at Mathura
The Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple is a must-see on every journey to Mathura and never fails to enthral visitors. It is here where Lord Krishna was born, therefore the name. The temple at Mathura is built around the jail cell where Devaki is said to have given birth to Krishna around 5000 years ago and is hence considered the holiest spot there.
It has been renovated 17 times since King Vajra, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna, constructed the first temple there. Nationally, and not only Mathura, but it is also one of the country's most popular tourist sites.
Mathura's colourful Holi and Janmashtami festivities attract tens of thousands of visitors each year, so plan your trip accordingly. Visit this sacred site, whether you believe in God or not before you leave the city."

Jama Masjid
Even though Mathura is known for its temples, it is also a popular tourist destination because of its natural beauty. There are also a few modest and old mosques to be found in the area. Jama Masjid, a 1661-built mosque, lies less than a mile from the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple. In addition to the mosque's stunning design and four ornate minarets, this edifice is really a sight to see. A large number of non-Muslim visitors come to the mosque every day to take in its beauty as well as the mosque's many regular visitors.
Time: 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in Chatta Bazar
Dwarkadhish Temple
The flute and peacock feathers are two of the most recognisable symbols of Krishna. You may view one in the Dwarkadhish Temple in Mathura. For the first time in the city's history, a Hindu shrine dating back more than a century has a shining black marble Krishna deity represented as Dwarkath, the King of Dwarka, sans the usual flute and peacock feather. Radharani, his consort, is sculpted from white marble and accompanies him. Mathura's biggest temple, this shrine is also renowned for its stunning sculptures and architectural splendour. Open pillared pillars adorn the temple's courtyard, which is built in the Rajasthani style of architecture, upon entering.
The swing festival, held annually at the onset of the monsoon season, is the greatest time to visit the temple. When the celebration is over, the idol is hung from a gilded silver swing and the temple is decked in bright hues. At this time of year, it's a visual delight, but note that the location might become a little crowded.

Vishram Ghat
Vishram Ghat is always at the top of the list when it comes to the greatest locations to see in Mathura, no matter where you go. Vishram Ghat is the holiest of the 25 ghats erected along the Yamuna River in Mathura. This ghat, according to tradition, is where Lord Krishna slept after murdering his uncle Kansa. Everything in Mathura is said to have mythology attached to it, didn't we mention that? The ghat, which is made of marble stones and has a gorgeous arch, offers a great perspective of the exquisite temples that surround it. A boat cruise might be a fun way to spend your time here. When the aarti is taking place, the Yamuna is lit up with thousands of tiny oil lights that float down the river.
Vishram Bazar, Choubey ParaAarti is the location. There are two shifts available: 4:30 am and 7:15 pm during the summer, and 5:15 am and 7:00 pm for the rest of the year (winters)
