You step out of the air‑conditioned van into a courtyard filled with incense and the low murmur of prayers — Vrindavan’s Bankey Bihari temple hums around you while bright saris thread through the crowd. The road between Delhi and Mathura narrows the modern from the ancient; the Yamuna appears as a silver ribbon in the distance, daring you to follow the stories that cling to its banks.
