And thus the history of Braj Bhoomi and Lord Krishna weaves around its capital, the western bank of the Yamuna, Mathura's history dates back at least to 600 B.C. and many archaeological remains have testified to its importance over the ages.

Mathura and Braj Bhoomi regions are important for the festivals centering around Lord Krishna and his consort Sri Radha Rani which are distinct to the area. These include Holi, Janmashtami, Radha Ashtami, Kans Vadh, Yam Dwitiya and Hariyali Teej. This is where Lord Krishna played his flute and sported with the gopis.
