The River Jumna, also known as the Yamuna, holds a significant place in Indian history and culture. Its waters have witnessed countless tales of triumph, tragedy, and spirituality throughout the ages. One such legendary tale is that of Krishna Subduing Kaliya, the Snake Demon. Depicted in a folio from the Bhagavata Purana series, this story showcases Lord Krishna's bravery as he tames the fearsome serpent to protect his devotees. Moving along its banks, we come across one of India's most iconic landmarks - the Taj Mahal. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stands majestically on the riverfront, captivating visitors with its exquisite architecture and eternal love story. As we journey further downstream to Muttra (now Mathura), we encounter a bathing ghat on the Yamuna River captured in 1917. This serene image transports us back in time when locals sought solace and purification through ritualistic baths amidst nature's tranquility. However, not all moments by this historic river are peaceful. The engraving depicting Delhi as "the Scene of late Massacre by Sepoys" reminds us of darker times during colonial rule when violence marred these sacred waters. Another somber depiction portrays infanticide on the banks of Jumna around 1891. Created by James Grant, it serves as a stark reminder of societal evils that plagued certain regions during that era. On a lighter note, Capt Lawrence's military plan offers insight into Delhi's strategic layout during British rule while Hindoo bathers surprised by a snake remind us of unexpected encounters amidst daily rituals along its shores. The engravings showcasing Bindrabund's Hindu temples from 1795 highlight architectural marvels dedicated to religious devotion along this revered riverbank. Not just for spiritual pursuits or historical significance; navigation on Jumna has been an adventurous sport too.
