Vrindavan, Sacred city in Mathura district, India

Located on the western bank of the Yamuna River, Vrindavan extends across an area featuring over 5,500 temples dedicated to Krishna and Radha.

The establishment of Vrindavan as a formal settlement occurred during the 16th century through an agreement between Muslim rulers and Hindu leaders.

The residents of Vrindavan maintain their traditional greeting of 'Radhe Radhe' while performing daily rituals and ceremonies in numerous temples.

The city connects to Delhi through National Highway 2, with regular bus services operating from Mathura Junction railway station 13 kilometers away.

The population includes thousands of widows who relocate to Vrindavan, where they participate in religious songs at local spiritual centers.
