Vrinadavan - Home of Lord Krishna

By Krishna Ayyer

Recently, I visited the holy land of Vrindavan, situated on the banks of river Yamuna situated in Uttar Pradesh. The place is considered holy beacuse of its relation to Lord Krishna. It is a land of temples but temples of Bankey Bihari & Radha Parthsarthy are centres of attraction. The idols of these temples are extra-ordinarily beautiful & appear as if they are alive. They are portrait of exclusive craftsmanship. Even temples' art & architecture is a masterpiece in itself. I saw many foreigners weapped in Indian outfits with sandal smothered forheads. There, I realized that our culture & its origin is great.ISKON Temples in Inida depict the Lord Krishna in a beautiful manner. Their Temples can be found in places like - Mumbai and Haridwar.

A traveller should visit that destination in India because it shows our culture, our religiion & moreover will give you a feeling that our Indian culture is great. In the urban lands, people are getting more & more westernised, they are forgetting their culture but after reaching Vrindavan, one will realize that even westerners want to be oriental, to feel the chastity of orientals. And apart from this, Mathura, birth place of Lord Krishna & the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world is quite near to this place. And a glimpse of the Taj Mahal will make you realize how beautiful is love.
