About Krishna Janmabhoomi
Shri Krishna Janmasthan in Mathura is believed to be the place where Lord Krishna was born, in the prison of King Kansa. The complex has the Garbh Griha (the birth room), the Keshav Dev temple and the large Bhagavata Bhavan with its painted ceilings and Radha Krishna deities.
Security is very strict. Mobile phones, bags, cameras and many personal items are not allowed inside, so keep them in the car or at the cloak room. On Janmashtami the complex is packed through the night for the midnight celebrations.

Before you go to Krishna Janmabhoomi
Security at Shri Krishna Janmasthan is the strictest in Mathura. Phones, bags, cameras, chargers and many other personal items are not allowed inside. The easiest way is to leave everything in your car with the driver – this is one big reason families prefer a taxi for this visit. If you come by auto, use the cloak room near the gate.
Expect two or three checks before you reach the shrines. Keep your hands free and carry only a little cash for prasad.
What you see inside
The route takes you to the Garbh Griha – the prison cell believed to be Krishna's birthplace – then to the Keshav Dev temple and the large Bhagavata Bhavan with its painted ceilings and deities of Radha Krishna. Take your time in the Bhagavata Bhavan; the paintings tell the story of Krishna's life from birth to Dwarka.
On Janmashtami the celebrations go on till after midnight. If you plan to come that night, reach early in the evening and be ready for long queues.
Krishna Janmabhoomi by taxi
The temple is in Mathura city, about 3–6 km from Mathura Junction (approx.). It opens at 5:30 AM in winter (5:00 AM in summer), so the best plan is: Janmabhoomi early, then Dwarkadhish and Vishram Ghat, and then drive 12–15 km to Vrindavan. Book a Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car or a Delhi to Mathura taxi if you are coming from Delhi.
