An ancient pink-sandstone Krishna temple beside Damodar Kund on the road to Girnar, recorded as renovated in 462 CE under the Gupta emperor Skandagupta; it also holds shrines to Balarama with Revati and to Ganesha.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The temple's founding is credited to Vajranabha, the great-grandson of Krishna, and bathing in the adjoining Damodar Kund is held to bring salvation.
