Dwarka, Gujarat · 22.2573°, 68.9644°
A carved temple about 2 km outside Dwarka housing a marble image of Rukmini holding conch, discus, mace and lotus. Local custom holds that a pilgrimage to Dwarka is complete only after worshipping here.
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 Skanda Purana explains the temple's distance from Krishna's own shrine by the curse of the sage Durvasa, who condemned the couple to live apart for twelve years after Rukmini offered water to Krishna before him.
