River Yamuna: Krishna's Beloved River

If the Ganga is India's mother, the Yamuna is her romantic, playful younger sister. This is the river where Krishna stole butter as a toddler, danced with the gopis on moonlit nights, and played his flute while sitting on a kadamba tree overhanging her dark waters. The Yamuna is not just water - she is the backdrop of the greatest love story in Hindu mythology. Every bend in her river near Mathura and Vrindavan holds a memory of the blue god.
