By dawn the highway unfurls south from Delhi, the city’s skyline shrinking as the plains open toward the Yamuna. In a private car the landscape slides by—fields, small towns, and the river that seems to pull the region together—until the domes and temple spires of Mathura and nearby Vrindavan rise into view. The day is built around movement: short walks between sacred sites, quiet moments at ghats, and the ritual sound of bells and conches that mark time here.
