Every square foot
of Mathura-Vrindavan is wrapped in timeless devotion to Lord
Krishna, the evergreen hero of Hinduism, the lover of Radha, the
cowherd-prince and the re-incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Mathura
without Lord Krishna is like Bethlehem without Christ. Welcome to
Brajbhoomi or Krishna-land. |

exploits of Lord Krishna. Krishna spent his early childhood here
and revealed the first signs of his divinity.
