'''Mathura Road''' is a road in [[Delhi]] and a part of the [[National Highway 2 (India)|NH 2]] (Delhi-Howrah) Highway. Some of it is part of the [[Grand Trunk Road]] passing through [[Faridabad]], and it leads right up to the holy town of [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]], the birthplace of Lord [[Krishna]]. In 1723 people from the Mathura Colony in then Faridabad flocked and took refuge in the slums of this area. Over time they established themselves as a dominant pressure group and won numerous battles against the overarching nascent Tughlaq regimes. The etymology of Mathura Road is believed to have its roots in these transformations. <br />
<br />
Further down the road stand the [[National Zoological Park Delhi]], [[Purana Qila]] and [[Pragati Maidan]], which was Delhi's largest convention and exhibition space. <br />
<br />
The grave of poet [[Abdul-Qādir Bedil|Bedil]], lies in a garden called ''Bagh-e-Bedil ''(Garden of Bedil) situated across [[Purana Qila]], at Mathura Road. <ref name=pahar>{{cite news |title=In the lanes of Zauq and Ghalib |url=http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/in-the-lanes-of-zauq-and-ghalib/434583/ |publisher=[[Indian Express]] |date=15 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120121091428/http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/in-the-lanes-of-zauq-and-ghalib/434583/ |archivedate=2012-01-21 }}</ref><br />
