A wooden boat laden with schoolchildren and adults glides through the ethereal morning mist on the sacred Yamuna River near Mathura, with ghostly temple silhouettes emerging through the haze. This daily river crossing represents an essential transportation route for thousands of residents in India's Braj region, where the Yamuna—believed to be the embodiment of the goddess Yamuna in Hindu tradition—flows past Mathura, the mythological birthplace of Lord Krishna and one of Hinduism's seven sacred cities.
