Two nodes of the Golden Triangle (Part-X) (End of the trip)

Return Journey via Mathura and Vrindavan:

We checked out our hotel at 11:30 and headed towards mathura on a full day taxi, contracted for showing us the temples and dropping at Mathura Junction railway station. Mathura and Vrindavan are places sacred to Hindus as they are related with Lord Shree Krishna. Temples of Vrindavan and Mathura themselves need 2-3 days as a separate package. Since temples are religious place and not a tourist spots, I was interested in offering my prayers to God than in taking photographs of the temples and also many do not allow the photography inside the premises. However a few shots were taken, which are shown here [Maa Vaishno Temple (http://www.maavaishno.org), Birla Temple and Pagalbaba Temple)-

Now we were on way back to home Lucknow from Mathura via Mathura Patna Express.
Joy of returning his sweet home
Hope you will get a feel of the place and some benefit from our experiences. Your valuable comments and queries are invited.

      Make sure it is not Friday as Taj is closed every Friday. Must see points are Taj, Fatehpur sikri and Agra fort. If time does not allow I would prefer to skip Agra fort and view Sikri and Taj in detail.
