Yamuna River is a river in India. The Yamuna River is a northern Indian river that originates in the Himalayas and flows west and south of the Ganges River before joining it at Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Along with the Ganges, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, Indus,
and Cauvery, the Yamuna is regarded one of India's seven holy rivers.
The Yamuna runs through the Braj area south of Delhi, which
is historically associated with Krishna's country, and his followers (bhakta)
hold it in higher regard than the Ganges.
Places around the Braj area have great connotations with
Krishna's life for his devotees, but Mathura and Brindavan are the most
noteworthy.
