Mathura is an important pilgrimage destination for Hindus and it is considered as one of the seven sacred cities of India. Devotees of Lord Krishna visit Mathura Vrindavan cities to seek solace in the cities where Lord himself spent major part of his life. Located in the western part of Uttar Pradesh, Mathura is a city with never-ending narrow lanes brimming with folks, rickshaws, and glittering shops. The city is bestowed with large number of magnificent temples, most of them dedicated to Lord Krishna. These temples have paintings and murals depicting various phases of Lord Krishna’s life that take the devotees back to the divine era of Dwapar Yug. Lord Krishna was born around 5000 years ago in Mathura inside the prison cell of the evil emperor Kansa, Lord Krishna’s maternal uncle. The land has an enchanting culture, and a number of unique festivals that make you want to visit Mathura again and again. Vrindavan is a holy town in Mathura and is the most significant pilgrimage site as Lord Krishna spent early years of his life here. Attracting around 500000 pilgrims every year, Vrindavan is home to a big number of beautiful temples. It is believed that Vrindavan village was lost over time, but it came to attention of the world when it was rediscovered by the saint from Nabadwip, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who discovered it in 16th century.
