Your live singer in Mathura

Mathura is the birthplace of Krishna in tradition, and the lanes of Vrindavan, a few kilometres away, are filled with temples where he is said to have played as a child. The Banke Bihari temple, the Prem Mandir with its light shows, the ghats of the Yamuna and the sweet shops with their pedas make the area one of the great pilgrimages of North India.

Music here is devotional by nature. Kirtan, bhajans, the Braj folk song and the Raslila performance fill the temples and ashrams, and the Holi celebrations of the region, including the Lathmar Holi of nearby Barsana and Nandgaon, are famous. A bhajan singer is at home in the town, and an evening built on Krishna bhajans is a natural fit.

The town follows religious customs, with vegetarian food, modest dress and no alcohol, and many events are held in ashrams, dharamshalas and hotels that follow them. Janmashtami and Holi are extremely crowded, so travel and stay are fixed far ahead.

The year in Mathura and Vrindavan

Holi in March is the greatest festival, with celebrations lasting about a week across the Braj region. Janmashtami follows in the monsoon, Radhashtami and Govardhan Puja mark the autumn, and the winter months are the calmest for pilgrimage and weddings. Summer is hot, and visitors come early in the day and late in the evening.

What Mathura hosts expect

Devotion and simplicity are expected. A programme that begins with a Krishna bhajan, remains within the town’s customs and ends with an aarti suits the hosts.

A Braj bhajan evening

A satsang in Vrindavan sounds like Krishna’s story. Radhe Radhe, Achyutam Keshavam, Hare Krishna Hare Rama, Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari and the Braj Holi songs fill the programme, with a Janmashtami lullaby for the late night. Audiences join the chorus freely, so the tempo is raised only at the pace of the crowd.

Venues and planning in Mathura and Vrindavan

Programmes in Mathura and Vrindavan take place in ashram halls, dharamshalas and the hotels that cater to pilgrim groups, as well as in resorts on the Delhi-Agra highway for family weddings. Temple events follow the temple’s own schedule and customs, and the Holi week takes over the whole Braj region.

The towns keep vegetarian and alcohol-free customs, and modest dress is expected. Crowds during Holi and Janmashtami make travel slow and rooms scarce. The band travels from Delhi or Agra, keeps the setup simple for halls and courtyards and plans devotional programmes with the hosting ashram or group.
