 | | Krishnajanmabhoomi, which means 'the birth-place of Krishna', is a temple built on the birthplace of Krishna (an avatar of God Vishnu) in Mathura, India. |
 | | It is believed that Lord Krishna was born here in a cell of a prison, which once stood there, and in which his parents (Vasudeva and Devaki) were kept in bondage by the tyrannical king of Mathura, Kamsa. |
 | | Krishna was of the royal family of Mathura, and was the eighth son born to the princess Devaki, and her husband Vasudeva, a noble of the court. |
