MATHURA

Looks that had me Hooked

For the devouts, Mathura, birthplace of the most human amongst the 30 crore Hindu gods & goddesses - Lord Krishna, is amongst the highly revered places on earth. If such is the association, ideally the region should have been filled with references to him dating back to the ancient times. Interestingly, this is not the case & historians have been unable to excavate even one of his statues in the land renowned for its sculptures.
