Geography & terrain
Vrindavan lies in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh at about 170 m, 150 km from Delhi and 15 km from Mathura — the Krishna town of the region, its 16th-century temples, the ghats and the lanes set on the Yamuna river's banks.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the 16th-century temple era — the Krishna town of the 16th-century temples and the 15th-century-era bhakti life of the Vallabhacharya era, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Delhi circuit and the home of the 16th-century-era temples and the ghats and the 2000s-era lanes; the town's history of the 17th-century-era sects and the Yamuna paths, gives Vrindavan its Krishna character.
