Your spiritual journey begins with a warm welcome by our experienced driver at the predetermined meeting point. After pickup, we will depart for Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The drive from Delhi takes approximately three hours.
- Shri Krishna Janambhoomi: Begin your pilgrimage at Shri Krishna Janambhoomi, the sacred site where Lord Krishna was born. Explore the Garbha-Griha (sanctum sanctorum) and visit the Keshav Dev Ji Temple. This is the only place in India where a temple and a mosque share the same wall, symbolizing harmony.
- Dwarkadhish Temple: Next, visit the Dwarkadhish Temple, a major shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna. Located in the bustling market of Mathura, near Vishram Ghat on the banks of the Yamuna River, this temple is a spiritual haven for devotees.
After exploring Mathura, we'll proceed to Gokul, the village where Lord Krishna was raised.
- Nand Bhawan: In Gokul, visit Nand Bhawan, the house where Lord Krishna grew up. Here, Yashoda Mata once cradled baby Krishna in a 125 kg gold swing, which remains a significant attraction.
- Raman Reti: A short drive from Gokul leads to Raman Reti, where Lord Krishna would graze his cows. This serene spot offers a tranquil escape into nature and spirituality.
As the temples close around noon, we'll take a lunch break before heading to Vrindavan, the town where Lord Krishna performed his divine leelas.
- Nidhivan: Visit Nidhivan, one of the principal forests in Braj Bhoomi, believed to be the site of the Maha Raas-Leela, where Lord Krishna danced with 16,108 gopis. It's said that the divine Raas-Leela continues every night, unseen by human eyes.
- Bankey Bihari Temple: Bankey Bihari is another name for Lord Krishna. The Bankey Bihari Temple is one of the most ancient and revered temples in India, dating back to 1864. The temple's serene atmosphere attracts millions of devotees each year.
- ISKCON Temple: The ISKCON Temple, also known as the Hare Krishna Temple, is a beautiful white marble structure. The temple reverberates with the chants of Hare Rama Hare Krishna, bringing a sense of peace and joy to all who visit.
- Prem Mandir: Conclude your day with a visit to Prem Mandir, a stunning temple dedicated to the love of Radha Krishna. Built by Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj, the temple is adorned with Italian marble and intricate carvings, making it a visual and spiritual delight.
After a day of spiritual exploration, enjoy a delicious Braj dinner at a local restaurant before returning to your hotel in Mathura for an overnight stay.
