Vrindavan is one of the oldest towns on the banks of the Yamuna. It is also a very important spot for people who love Krishna. People say that Lord Krishna spent his childhood in Vrindavan. The name of the city comes from the words Vrinda, which means "basil," and van, which means "grove." The two small groves at Nidhivan and Seva Kunj may be what the name refers to. Many people visit the city to escape their everyday lives, drawn by its reputation as a holy place.

What is Vrindavan famous for?

One of the most famous Indian holidays, Holi, is celebrated on a very large scale. However, the most famous event is the Holi festival in Braj, an ancient area that includes Mathura, Vrindavan, and nearby places. If one wishes to visit Agra, then by all means, he must visit Braj during Holi. Every year, tourists from every walk of society visit Braj to experience it once in a lifetime amid specific practices and customs on this festival. It is one of the best PLACES TO VISIT IN AGRA.

Are Vrindavan and Mathura the same?

Both Vrindavan and Mathura are connected, but they are in different places. Mathura is where Lord Krishna was born, and this city is where he grew up. Both towns are important Hindu religious sites and are only 10 km apart in Uttar Pradesh. Mathura is said to have many churches and sacred places, and Vrindavan City is a place closely related to the young life of Krishna. These two destinations will always be crowded with visitors interested in spiritual contemplation at their temples and festivals.

What is the Specialty of Vrindavan?

The people know it as Lord Krishna's spiritual abode because he spent his childhood there. Many old temples, like Banke Bihari and ISKCON, attract visitors so it is the core of any TRIP PACKAGE TO AGRA. Festivities are also very active in the city on different occasions, like Holi and Janmashtami. It is relatively silent with people who follow Krishna - listening to god's story and his love life.

The best month to visit

Vrindavan is a popular place for pilgrims all year, except for the hot summer months when it gets very hot there. The winter months, from October to March, are the best time to visit Vrindavan. These months are great for touring and seeing how beautiful the Yamuna River is. Besides winter, the monsoons are also a great time because the air is calm with petrichor and the weather is nice all day.
