The Krishna Janmasthan Temple Complex is a group of Hindu temples situated in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. There are three main temples inside the premises -- Keshavdev temple which is dedicated to Krishna, Garbh Griha where Krishna is believed to be born in Dvapar Yuga and Bhagvata Bhavan where presiding deities are Radha Krishna.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]

The place has held religious significance since at least the 6th century BCE with findings of religious artifacts in excavations.^[8] The temples were destroyed multiple times throughout history, most recently by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1670. He built the Shahi Eidgah mosque there, which still stands.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[9]^[8] In the 20th century, the new temple complex adjacent to mosque was built with the financial help from industrialists.^[3]
