Mathura Junction railway station, Railway junction in Mathura, India.
Mathura Junction is a railway station in Mathura with ten platforms and twenty-one tracks, connecting Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai routes. The facility manages hundreds of trains daily and provides passengers with multiple ticket counters and waiting areas.
The station was established in 1904 when the British administration built it as part of the expanding railway network in northern India. This founding marked the beginning of a long connection between the town and India's rail system.
The station serves as a vital passage for pilgrims traveling to the sacred sites of Mathura and Vrindavan to visit places connected to Lord Krishna's life. This spiritual role shapes daily life at the station and gives it meaning beyond mere transportation.
The station is organized under the North Central Railway zone and has multiple ticket counters spread across different areas of the facility. Visitors should allow time to navigate the different sections and book their tickets well in advance.
The Hath Road-Mathura Cantt line was transferred from Bombay Baroda Central India Railway to North Eastern Railway in 1952. This reorganization reflects how the management of India's rail network evolved over the decades.
