Indian religious cities are renowned for their spiritual significance and cultural vibrancy, with streets serving as vital arteries that connect devotees to sacred sites and cultural landmarks. This research paper investigates the intricate dynamics of public open spaces within Indian religious cities, focusing on two iconic streets: Vishram Bazaar Street in Mathura and Bhakti Vedanta Marg in Vrindavan. Through a comprehensive analysis of physical, perceptual, socio-cultural, and functional aspects, the study aims to understand the nuances shaping the sense of place in these revered urban settings. Findings reveal a juxtaposition of moderately negative and positive perceptions, indicating the need for targeted interventions to enhance the overall quality of these streetscapes and preserve their cultural and spiritual significance. Recommendations for physical improvements, cultural preservation initiatives, and functional enhancements are proposed to enrich the urban experience and promote sustainable development in Indian religious cities.
