Janmashtami 2025: The birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is celebrated all over the country. This year too, devotees are eagerly waiting for Krishna Janmashtami and have started preparations. Along with temples, those who have Laddu Gopal in their homes celebrate Krishna Janmashtami and celebrate the birth of Kanha at midnight. However, those who cannot celebrate Krishna Janmashtami at home must visit Kanhaiya's city on this occasion. There, a grand celebration of Nand Gopal's birth anniversary is celebrated. Kanhaiya was born in Mathura, while Kanha's childhood was spent in Vrindavan and Gokul. Barsana is the city of Radha, who is Kanhaiya's favorite. In such a situation, the Krishna Janmashtami festival is celebrated with great pomp at all these places.

This year, Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated on 16 August 2025. If you are planning to visit Vrindavan-Mathura, the city of Shri Krishna, on this Janmashtami, then you can not only have darshan but also experience a beautiful spiritual trip. There are many religious, historical, and natural places here, where you can satisfy your mind, soul, and camera by visiting in two days.

However, book a hotel in advance in view of the crowd of devotees on Janmashtami. If possible, take simple and traditional clothes with you and be prepared in advance to roam among the crowd. Also, know about those seven places, without going to which your trip to Mathura-Vrindavan is incomplete.

Visit these 7 places of Kanhaiya in 2 days.

Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple

Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple is in Mathura. It was the prison of King Kansa, where Devaki Mata gave birth to Kanha. Now it has been given the form of a grand temple. Here, during Janmashtami, grand tableaux, bhajan-kirtan, and night aarti will give you a supernatural experience.

Dwarkadhish Temple

The most famous temple of Mathura is the Dwarkadhish Temple. Here, Shri Krishna is worshipped in a royal form. The Aarti and Jhula Utsav here are very famous. This temple was built by Seth Gokuldas Parikh, the treasurer of Gwalior State, in 1814, and Maharaja of Gwalior Shrimant Daulatrao Scindia gave approval and donation for the temple.

Vishram Ghat

This ghat, located on the banks of the Yamuna in Mathura, is the place where Shri Krishna rested after killing Kansa. Participating in the Aarti here is a divine experience. The holy parikrama of Mathura starts and ends at Vishram Ghat.

Banke Bihari Temple

The most favorite place for Krishna lovers is the temple of Banke Bihari, which is located in Vrindavan. There is a huge crowd here on the day of Janmashtami, but the joy of darshan is unforgettable. According to legend, pleased with the devotion of Swami Haridas, Lord Krishna appeared to him and gave him the idol of Banke Bihari. Swami Haridas, who used to sing bhajans in Vrindavan's Nidhivan, installed the idol of Banke Bihari in Nidhivan, which was transferred in 1864, and a temple was built.

Seva Kunj

Seva Kunj, located in Vrindavan, is also known as Nikunj Van. At this place, Lord Krishna used to perform Raasleela with Radha Rani and the gopis. The divinity and mystery of this place make it special.

Nidhivan

This place in Vrindavan is closed at night because it is believed that Radha-Krishna perform Raas here at night. The number of devotees increases here before Janmashtami.

ISKCON Temple Vrindavan

A unique confluence of modernity and devotion is seen in the ISKCON temple. The Bhajan Sandhya and Shri Krishna Janmashtami event here is worth seeing. As grand as this temple is, much more grandeur is seen here on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami.
