Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple - Mathura

 

Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple : #1 Of The Best Attractions in Mathura

A trip to Mathura is never complete without a visit to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, an attraction that never fails to fascinate tourists. As the name indicates, it marks the place of Lord Krishna’s birth. Regarded as the holiest place in Mathura, the temple is constructed around the prison cell, where Devaki is believed to have given birth to Krishna around 5000 years ago. While the original temple was constructed by King Vajra, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna, the shrine has been destroyed and rebuilt 17 times over the course of history. Today, it stands as one of the most popular places to visit not just in Mathura, but in the whole country.

If you happen to visit Mathura during the festivals of Holi or Janmashtami, you can be part of the vibrant celebrations that draw lakhs. Whether you are a believer or not, don’t leave the city without visiting this holy shrine.
