Mathura
an ancient city in Uttar Pradesh, North India, considered the birthplace of Krishna. It was ruled by the tyrant king Kansa at the time of Krishna's birth, a city that lived under fear and waited without knowing it was waiting for the night everything would change.
If your child asks about Mathura, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Mathura in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
