Vishram Ghat is a ghat, a bath and worship place, on the banks of river Yamuna in Mathura, India. The traditional parikrama starts and ends at Vishram Ghat.[1] Krishna is said to have rested at this place after killing Kamsa[2] and the name Vishram Ghat is in reference to this as it means "ghat of rest."[3]
