India Gate – The Heart of Delhi's Patriotism
Located in the heart of New Delhi, India Gate is a 42-meter-high war memorial built in memory of 84,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, it stands on the eastern edge of the ceremonial Rajpath and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Carved with the names of the soldiers, India Gate symbolizes valor and sacrifice. Beneath its arch lies the Amar Jawan Jyoti, an eternal flame that honors the unknown soldiers. The area is beautifully landscaped with green lawns, making it a favorite evening hangout spot for families, picnickers, and tourists.

The Qutub Minar, standing at 73 meters, is the tallest brick minaret in the world and one of Delhi’s most iconic monuments. Built in 1193 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, it marks the beginning of Muslim rule in India.
The minar is made of red sandstone and marble, with intricately carved verses from the Quran and floral motifs. Surrounding the minar is the Qutub Complex, which includes Alai Darwaza, Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque (India’s first mosque), and the famous Iron Pillar, known for its rust-resistant composition over centuries.

Constructed with red sandstone, the fort complex includes several impressive structures such as the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Rang Mahal, and Mumtaz Mahal. Each corner of the fort narrates a story of royal life, court ceremonies, and historical decisions that shaped Indian history.

Places to See in Mathura
Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple Complex
The Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple is the most sacred and significant site in Mathura, believed to be the exact birthplace of Lord Krishna. According to Hindu mythology, Krishna was born in a prison cell at this very location, which was then ruled by the tyrant King Kansa, his maternal uncle.
The temple complex houses several shrines, including the Garbha Griha (sanctum sanctorum), believed to be the prison cell where Krishna was born. The surroundings are serene yet filled with devotional energy. Visitors often experience a deep sense of spirituality while walking through the temple.
Adjacent to the temple is the Keshavdev Temple, which dates back to ancient times but was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times through history. The current structure is a blend of modern and traditional architecture, adorned with beautiful carvings and idols
Key Highlights:
- Birthplace of Lord Krishna.
- Security is tight due to its religious sensitivity.
- No mobile phones or cameras allowed inside.
Dwarkadhish Temple
Located in the heart of Mathura city, the Dwarkadhish Temple is one of the most important and visually striking temples dedicated to Lord Krishna. Built in 1814 by a prominent treasurer of the Scindia royal family, this temple showcases intricate Rajasthani-style architecture, with stunning pillars, painted ceilings, and ornate gateways.
The presiding deity, Dwarkadhish (another name for Lord Krishna, meaning “King of Dwarka”), is enshrined in a black marble idol adorned with silver ornaments and fine clothes. The temple becomes a focal point during festivals such as Holi, Janmashtami, and Diwali, celebrated with much fervor and grand decorations.
The temple complex is situated near the Vishram Ghat, adding to its spiritual significance, and provides a perfect combination of religious and cultural exploration.
Key Highlights:
- Architectural marvel with traditional paintings.
- Lively celebrations during Holi and Janmashtami.
- Located near markets, ideal for shopping and local sweets.
Vishram Ghat
Vishram Ghat is the most prominent ghat (riverfront steps) on the banks of the Yamuna River in Mathura. This sacred spot holds immense religious significance, as it is believed that Lord Krishna rested here after killing Kansa. “Vishram” means rest, and the ghat is a symbol of divine peace and victory over evil.
The ghat is lined with temples, shrines, and stone steps, and serves as a starting point for the parikrama (circumambulation) of Mathura. Pilgrims take ritualistic dips in the holy waters of Yamuna here, believing it to cleanse sins.
One of the most magical experiences here is the evening aarti (prayer ceremony), where priests perform rituals with lamps, accompanied by devotional songs. The reflection of the lamps on the water during twilight creates a mesmerizing spiritual atmosphere.
Key Highlights:
- Spiritual hub for Yamuna aarti and boat rides.
- Historical spot where Lord Krishna rested.
- Great place for photography, especially at sunset.
Places to See in Vrindavan
Banke Bihari Temple
The Banke Bihari Temple is one of the most famous and beloved temples in Vrindavan, dedicated to Lord Krishna in his child form known as Banke Bihari, which means “the Supreme Enjoyer who is bent in three places.” This temple was established by the great saint Swami Haridas, the guru of the legendary singer Tansen, who is said to have discovered the image of Krishna here.
The idol of Banke Bihari is incredibly captivating, with a divine aura that draws thousands of devotees each day. Unlike most temples, there is no early morning mangal aarti here. The belief is that Banke Bihari is treated like a child who should not be disturbed early in the morning. The temple rituals are intimate and conducted with a deep sense of affection rather than strict discipline.
One unique feature of this temple is that the curtain in front of the deity is drawn every few seconds, hiding the Lord’s form intermittently. This is done because it is believed that the gaze of Krishna is so powerful and charming that devotees might lose themselves completely in his divine beauty. The temple is especially crowded during Holi and Janmashtami, when Vrindavan bursts into colors and chants.
Prem Mandir
Prem Mandir, meaning “Temple of Divine Love,” is a relatively new but stunning addition to Vrindavan’s sacred landscape. It was inaugurated in 2012 by Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj and is dedicated to the divine couple Radha-Krishna and also to Sita-Ram.
This marble temple is an architectural masterpiece that showcases a blend of spiritual expression and artistic brilliance. The entire structure is made of white Italian marble and adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes from Krishna’s life, such as lifting the Govardhan Hill, Ras Leela, and playful moments with Radha.
At night, the temple comes alive with colorful LED lights that change hues, making the entire structure glow with spiritual splendor. The landscaped gardens, musical fountain shows, and devotional music create an atmosphere of deep serenity and devotion. Every evening, a sound and light show narrates the story of Krishna’s pastimes, making it not just a religious visit but a spiritual experience.
ISKCON Vrindavan (Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir)
The ISKCON Temple in Vrindavan, also known as the Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir, was established in 1975 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). This temple is one of the most vibrant spiritual centers in Vrindavan and serves as a hub for Krishna devotees from all over the world.
Dedicated to Krishna and his elder brother Balaram, the temple also houses beautiful deities of Radha-Shyamasundar and Gaura-Nitai. The temple’s atmosphere is filled with the sounds of kirtans (devotional songs), chants of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, and the rhythm of mridangas and kartals.
The white marble temple complex also includes a guesthouse, vegetarian restaurant, bookshop, and the samadhi (tomb) of Srila Prabhupada, making it a self-contained spiritual retreat. The temple is known for its well-organized daily rituals, philosophical discourses, and lively celebrations on major Vaishnava festivals like Gaura Purnima and Janmashtami. It is especially popular among international visitors who are drawn to its welcoming and community-oriented environment.
