History & tradition
The Krishna Janmasthan Temple complex in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, marks the place revered as the birthplace of Krishna. Within the premises are three main shrines: the Keshavdev temple dedicated to Krishna, the Garbh Griha, honoured as the spot of his birth, and Bhagavata Bhavan, where Radha and Krishna are the presiding deities. The site has been sacred for a very long time; excavations have found religious objects dating from around the 6th century BCE, and temples here were built and rebuilt over the centuries. The present complex was constructed in the 20th century. Janmashtami, the festival of Krishna’s birth, is its most important celebration.
