Tourist attractions of Mathura

Dwarkadhish Mandir is the most visited temple in Mathura. The present structure of the Dwarkadhish temple was built by Seth Gokul Das Parikh, about 200 years ago. Tourists are greeted inside the temple by a magnificently carved Rajasthani styled entrance. Within the main temple sits the beautiful black marble idol of Lord Krishna. There is also an idol of Radharani, made of contrasting white marble. The temple also comes with a decorated ceiling depicting various scenes from Lord Krishna’s life. Lord Krishna is worshipped here by the name of Dwarkadhish, or ‘King of Dwarka’. River Yamuna flows by at a gentle pace beside this temple.
Timings: 6 AM – 7:30 PM
Must see: Soon after the temple gates close, one should head for the nearby Vishram Ghat to enjoy Yamuna aarti.
Shopping: The street side shops near the temple sell the best collection of Bangles. Do care to check them out.
Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Complex
Lord Krishna is believed to have been born at the site of this present day temple. Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi complex tries to recreate the times of Lord Krishna’s birth. Relics of the dungeon (where Vasudeva was imprisoned) have been preserved here. Then there is an artificially created cave, where a light and sound show is organized telling the story of Lord Krishna’s birth. The temples within the complex carry beautiful carvings depicting the birth of the Lord in a dungeon cell.

Govardhan Hill
As per the Gita, Govardhan Hill is an embodiment of Lord Krishna himself. It is believed that Lord Krishna shielded his devotees from a devastating flood by upholding this hill. As the myths go, Lord Krishna and his elder brother (Balarama), during their childhood days, would roam around the Govardhan Hill. When Lord Krishna grew up he played Raas Leela with Radha on these hills. There are five temples situated on the hill which receive a high footfall of devotees all through the year.
Jugal Kishore Temple (Rangji Temple)
Jugal Kishore temple is situated near Kesi Ghat in Mathura. The presiding deity of this temple is Lord Vishnu (who goes by the name of Lord Sri Ranganatha or Rangji). The idol of Vishnu can be seen lying on the Seshnag. The architecture of this temple has a remarkable resemblance with those glorious South Indian temples. It was built by the wealthy Seth family of Mathura in 1851. Apart from the Rajput styled entrance gate, the temple also boasts of 15 meter high golden pillars.
