Mathura, Ancient religious city in Uttar Pradesh, India
Mathura spreads along the Yamuna River banks, featuring numerous temples, ghats, and narrow streets that lead to religious monuments and marketplaces.
The city flourished as a cultural center during the Kushan Empire in the 2nd century BCE, developing its distinct school of art and architecture.
Devotees gather at temples and perform ceremonies at the ghats of Yamuna River, maintaining traditions that span thousands of years.
