Yam-Yamuna Temple in #Mathura

Located on the banks of River Yamuna, it is dedicated to the brother-sister sibling duo of Yam and Yamuna.

The story related to the temple is quite an interesting one. Read thread below:

#BhaiyaDooj
It is said that once, on the occasion of #BhaiDooj, Yamuna requested her brother to come over for dinner.
After the dinner, Yum insisted his sister ask for something from him. This left Yamuna confused as she already had everything and she dint know what else she could demand.
Yamuna finally put forth her wish – On #BhaiDooj, all those sisters who along with their brothers, will devotedly bathe in my waters and visit our temple together should be freed from all your reprimands and punishments and be granted liberation – that was happily granted by Yam.
Keeping with that pledge, even today, on the auspicious eve of #BhaiyaDooj every year, the Vishram ghat gets flanked by sister-brother pair coming over from all over the country and the entire river front literally transposes into a huge sibling fair.
