Mathura is an important place of pilgrimage
in India as it is the birth place of Lord Krishna.
Mathura is one of the most sacred cities of Hinduism
and is situated on the western banks of the Yamuna
River. It lies at the heart of the Brajbhoomi, a
land that is imbued with sanctity, for it was here
that the young Krishna was nurtured.The thousands of
devotees visit this place throughout the year. The
little towns and hamlets in this area are still
alive with the tales of his mischievous pranks, his
extraordinary exploits and still seem to echo with
the sound of his flute. Today, Mathura with its many
temples and splendid ghats along the Yamuna river,
is an important pilgrimage town. Hindi, English and
Brajbhasha are the main languages which are spoken
in Mathura. It is also a rapidly growing industrial
city.
