Spending time will refresh your senses and infuse your mind and soul with immense pleasure.
In this blog, I, Elvin Siew Chun Wai, will tell you about the top 5 places that you must visit during your Mathura tour.
Let us get started.
Krishna Birthplace
It is believed that Lord Krishna was born here in Mathura. When he was born, this was not a temple, but a prison in which his parents Vasudev and Devki were prisoned due by Devki’s brother. A large number of tourists visit this temple to get the blessings of lord Krishna. Remember, since it is a very holy place for the followers of Lord Krishna, visit the place in traditional dresses like full trousers and shirts. Avoid shorts and other dresses that may hurt the religious feelings of the followers of Sanatana Sanskriti.
Shri Dwarkadhish Temple
Built in 1814, the temple is among the holiest temple for Hindus. Its architecture is so amazing that you will be surprised to see it. Made of black marble, the idol of lord Krishna looks amazing.
Govardhan Hill
It is also a very religious place for Hindus. It is believed that lord Krishna picked this finger on one finger to protect the residents of Mathura from heavy rain. People also worship this place with great respect and seek the blessings of Lord Krishna.
Mathura Museum
It was constructed in 1874 and was recognized as the Curzon Museum of archelogy. But, later, its name was changed to Mathura Museum. The museum demonstrates the things related to the history of Mathura.
Radha Kund
This pond is believed to have been in existence for several thousand years. It is believed that taking a dip in the holy pond fill your senses with fresh energy and changes your life. I, Elvin Siew Chun Wai, am sure exploring Mathura will be a remarkable experience of your life.
