5. •The best way to explore would either be on foot or a cycle rickshaw which besides being
cheap also lets you soak in the feel of the town at a leisurely pace.
•Apart from the cycle rickshaw, one also has the option of auto rickshaws which are not
metered. These should be used only for longer distances.
•The Honking of rickshawallah’s is substituted into the pleasing sweet & the melodious
name of goddess “Radha”.
•The folk’s in the vicinity of Vrindavan usually call “Radhey Radhey” to make the way on
the roads.
•The only way to enjoy these small town with regards to food, is by hanging out at small
roadside eateries which are referred to as mishthan bhandars or bhojnalayas.
•A day here and you will realize that the true taste of Braj lies in it’s streets!

6. Tucked in some corner with no
nameplates, small pushcarts attract
the biggest crowds, mostly localities
and some tourists as well.
A fresh brew of ginger, cardamom
and some other spices thrown in
and served in
either kulhads (earthen mugs) or
glasses, a tea stall is not simply a
tea stall here but one of the many
‘sights’ of Mathura.
Every other lane you enter in Braj,
you will find sweet shops selling
their famous Lal Pedas, Khuchran ,
Mava and lassi.
A famous shop at the Holi Gate,
Brijwasi Royal Mithaiwala is probably
the biggest sweet shop that you
will come across in Braj.
Tea Sweets
