About this activity

On this day excursion from Delhi, visit Vrindavan and Mathura, the land of the Hindu God Krishna. Mathura is considered to be the birthplace of Krishna while he is said to have spent his childhood in the neighbouring town of Vrindavan. Mathura is one of the seven most holy places for Hindus in India. Vrindavan is the site where Krishna played and danced with the maidens of the town. Cover both these holy towns on the same day. On the way back to Delhi, stop at the beautiful Akshardham Temple that has some of the most delicate carvings to be found in a modern day temple.

Itinerary

Shri Banke Bihari Temple

2 hours

You will be picked up from your hotel in Delhi for the two and half hour drive to Vrindavan that is situated around 100 miles from Delhi.

Your local guide will meet you in Vrindavan and show you around the town where Krishna spent his childhood. There are over 5 000 temples in Vrindavan. On this tour visit the two most famous temples - the Bankey Bihari Temple and Prem Mandir Temple. The beautiful idols of Krishna and his divine love Radha along with other maidens are a sight to behold. The Bankey Bihari temple is unlike other Hindu temples as it does not have any bells. It is believed that bells disturb the sleep of Krishna, who is worshipped here in his child incarnation.
Shri Krishna Janmasthan

one hour

After the temple visits, drive on to the nearby town of Mathura. Visit the Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple that is constructed on the site where Krishna is believed to have been born. Within the temple complex is a water pond where the child Krishna was bathed for the first time after his birth. Spend some time visiting the six shrines of the temple. The main shrine has beautiful 6 feet high idols of Krishna and Radha.
Swaminarayan Akshardham

one hour

On the drive back to Delhi stop at Akshardham Temple. The temple has featured in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s largest comprehensive Hindu temple. It took five years and 11 000 artisans and volunteers to construct this temple that was opened to the public in 2005. The walls of this ancient style stone temple are covered with intricately carved sculptures of flora, fauna, dancers, musicians and Hindu deities. The temple was constructed on the tenets of traditional Hindu architecture and does not have any ferrous metal. There are over nine domes, 230 intricately carved pillars, 148 life sized elephants and over 20 000 idols in the temple.

After the tour of Akshardham Temple, you will be dropped back at your hotel.
