About Vishram Ghat

Vishram Ghat is the most important of the 25 ghats of Mathura on the Yamuna. It is believed that Krishna rested (vishram) here after killing King Kansa. The traditional Mathura parikrama starts and ends at this ghat.

Every evening the Yamuna Aarti is performed with big lamps, bells and chanting, and devotees float leaf-lamps (deep daan) on the river. Boat rides are available from the ghat, and Dwarkadhish Temple is a short walk away.

Watching the Yamuna Aarti

The evening Yamuna Aarti at Vishram Ghat is one of the most beautiful moments in Mathura. Priests wave large lamps, bells ring and devotees chant together, then float small leaf lamps (deep daan) on the river. Reach about 20 minutes early to find a good place on the steps; in winter the aarti is at about 6:45 PM.

There is also a morning aarti, at about 6:45–7:15 AM, which is calmer.

Boat ride and the ghats

Boats leave from the ghat for a short ride along the old ghats of Mathura. Agree on the fare before you sit in the boat. The steps can be wet and slippery, so wear good footwear and hold children's hands. Vishram Ghat is also the start and end point of the traditional Mathura parikrama.

Reaching Vishram Ghat by car

Cars stop near Holi Gate or the nearest ghat parking, and you walk through the market. Dwarkadhish Temple is a short walk away, so you can see its evening jhanki and then the aarti. Our Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car can end with the Yamuna Aarti; for a boat ride with taxi, just tell us when you book.
