    Dwarkadhish Temple

    Built in 1814 by Seth Gokul Das Parikh, this temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna in his royal form as Dwarkadhish. Known for its intricate carvings, ornate detailing, and vibrant atmosphere, it stands as one of the most celebrated attractions in Mathura. The temple comes alive during Janmashtami and Holi with grand festivities that draw devotees from across the country.

    Vishram Ghat

    The most important among Mathura’s 25 ghats, Vishram Ghat lies along the banks of the Yamuna River. It is believed that Lord Krishna rested here after defeating the demon king Kansa. Today, it’s the starting and ending point for the sacred parikrama (circumambulation) of Mathura. The evening aarti here, with oil lamps floating on the water, offers a truly divine experience.

    Established in 1874 by F.S. Growse, the Government Museum of Mathura is one of India’s oldest and most significant museums. It houses a vast collection of sculptures from the Mathura School of Art, dating back to the 3rd century BCE. Visitors can explore ancient Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu artefacts, coins, and pottery that trace the region’s rich artistic and cultural evolution.

    Kans Quila (Kansa Fort)

    Perched on the banks of the Yamuna, Kans Quila is an ancient fort named after the infamous King Kansa, the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna. Although much of it is in ruins today, the structure showcases a blend of Hindu and Mughal architectural influences. The fort is believed to have been rebuilt during Emperor Akbar’s reign and later renovated by Raja Man Singh of Amber.
