Shri Krishna Janmasthan Temple
Shri Krishna Janmasthan Temple is located in the holy city of Mathura,
Uttar Pradesh. It is built around the prison cell in which Lord
Krishna’s parents, Mata Devaki and Vasudeva were imprisoned by his evil
uncle Kansa. The temple is of great significance for the Hindus as it is
believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Besides the prison cell, there are other temples located within the Krishna Janmasthan Temple Complex dedicated to the deity. On entering the temple, the divine ambience and its purity fill the heart with conviction that this indeed is the place where Lord Krishna manifested himself. Destroyed multiple times by many kings, it was finally built by financial help from industrialists. A visit to the Krishna Janmasthan Temple becomes more pleasing at the time of festivals like Janmashtami, Basant Panchami, Holi and Deepavali which are celebrated with great fervour.
