Vrindavan — Travel Guide
Vrindavan is a town in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The town is about 11 km away from Mathura, Krishna's birthplace on the Agra-Delhi highway (NH 2). The town hosts many temples dedicated to the worship of Radha and Krishna and is considered sacred by Vaishnavism. The city’s name is derived from the words vrinda meaning tulsi (or basil) and van meaning grove and most likely refers to the two small groves at Nidhivan and Seva Kunj. While Seva Kunj is believed to be the place where Krishna performed Raaslila with Radha and the Gopis, Nidhi Van is said to be the place where the divine couple rested. Even though Vrindavan was once surrounded by thick forests but urbanization and building projects have slowly taken a toll on the vast forests that are depleting fast.
