Dawn breaks on the Yamuna plains as a private car slips onto the expressway from Delhi, headlights cutting through the haze. By 7:30 a.m. the air of Vrindavan carries incense and temple bells; priests open doors and markets begin to stack laddus and jalebi in paper cones. The day moves at a devotional pace—short walks between temple courtyards, the hush of inner sanctums, and the steady presence of the river that shapes the town’s rituals.
