It takes one on a visual odyssey of the colours of Krishna devotion, the dulcet hymns of Braj bhasha guiding one through the air of peace and profundity in the by-lanes of Mathura, and the culinary landscape telling an untold tale of the food influences assimilated through history. Rich in paintings and photographs, the book aims to be an easy introduction to the place that draws crores of visitors annually. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
