Madhu Forest

Madhu Forest

Madhu Forest was a dense forest that existed to the west of Yamuna in the epic Ramayana. An Asura named "Madhu", ruled this forest and its territory. He was defeated by Shatrughna one of the brothers of king Raghava Rama of Kosala. Shatrughna later cleared this forest and built a city called Mathura here. This later became the capital of Surasena Kingdom as in the epic Mahabharata. Yadava kings Ugrasrena and Kansa ruled from here.
