Mathura, like the rest of northern India, has severely hot and muggy summers that extend from April to June. During these months, the temperature might reach 45 degrees Celsius, making touring difficult. Summertime is often avoided as a good time to visit Mathura.
The monsoon season begins in July and lasts through September, providing a welcome break from the summer heat. The weather is around 35 degrees Celsius at this time of year, making it nice enough to embark on a pilgrimage trip to Mathura. During the monsoon, however, the city faces extreme humidity, which may thwart touring plans.
The winter season, which begins in October and lasts until March, is one of the greatest times to explore Mathura. The weather is great for touring and viewing the city's various temples throughout these months. Mathura is coldest in December and January, as is typical of North Indian cities, with temperatures dropping to around 5 degrees Celsius at times.
Radha and Krishna are reported to relax in the Rang Mahal, which is adjacent to the Nidhi Van, after completing the Raas Leela. Each evening, a bed is prepared for Krishna Radha. They have come here to relax. People have noticed the bed being kept in a used state, and some have discovered jewelry near the bed. People also drop food on the floor, which is either devoured or strewn. Many people have perished in the forest while searching for the Raas Leela.
Due to Sri Krishna, the sole idol, Mathura is a magnificent sanctuary. It is where Krishna was born, and he is thought to be a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. With the Mauryan Empire, Vrindavan also has recollections of Sri Krishna, and the expansion of Hinduism increased in Mathura.
The Bankey Bihari Temple houses a very old Sri Krishna deity that bears a strong resemblance to ancient culture. The temple is unique in that there are no conches or shells being performed within. Bankey Bihari disliked the sound of conch or shells for this reason.
The Nidhi Van still bears many secrets after many years of Hindu mythology. Radha and Krishna are said to visit the Nidhi Van and conduct their Raas Leela even nowadays, soon after midnight. The place where Gopiyaan used to play their Raas Leela was known as Nidhi Van. The land is densely forested and covered with trees and plants. Each tree in the Van is also thought to be a gopi, which comes to life at night and returns to its original state in the morning.
Mathura has both public and private buses that operate around the city. Buses are a cost-effective way to visit the city, but frequent tempos or auto rickshaws are more comfortable. Between Mathura and Vrindavan, buses are also available. The Old Bus Stand is where these buses depart from.
As Mathura attracts a huge number of visitors, there are a variety of transportation alternatives available, including auto rickshaws, cycle rickshaws, shared autos, and more. Hire Me Car, for example, is a private cab company.
The Mathura Junction has ten platforms and is connected to all of India's main cities. From this train station, there are seven different routes to choose from. Due to the lack of a railway station in Vrindavan, this station is also utilised by persons travelling to and from Vrindavan.
