#1 Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple

The Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, a tourist attraction that never fails to captivate visitors, is a must-see on any trip to Mathura. It marks the birthplace of Lord Krishna, as the name suggests. The revered site, which is thought to be the most sacred location in Mathura, is constructed around the location where Devki, a prisoner, is reputed to have given birth to Krishna about 5000 years ago. King Vajra, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna, built the original temple. The shrine has been demolished and rebuilt 17 times throughout history. It is now one of the popular Mathura destinations, not only in Mathura but throughout the nation.

Things to do:

  • Watch the great show of light and sound that narrates the whole story of Lord Krishna.
  • Visit it at the time of Holi and watch its unique Lath Mar Holi.
  • Travel through the small cave and see different Jhakis.
  • Visit Govardhan Hill, which is just 0.5km away from it.

Best time to visit:

  • October to May is the best time to visit here, as the weather is quite pleasant.

#2 Jama Masjid

Mathura is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country for more reasons than just its temples. The city also contains a few charming and historical mosques. Jama Masjid is a well-known mosque built in 1661 and located approximately one kilometer from Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple. The mosque has four ornamented minarets, which, combined with its mesmerizing architecture, make it an impressive structure.

This shrine is also known for its exceptional architecture and magnificent carvings, making it one of Mathura’s most prominent temples. It is an example of Rajasthani architecture, with ornate paintings, walls with bright colors, and pillars with intricate carvings.
