History of Dwarkadhish Temple

After the Lord Krishna killed Kishash, his father-in-law Jarasand had attacked Mathura 17 times. After which Lord Krishna left Mathura and made Dwarka his place of residence. The temple of Rukmani ji is just 3 km away from the temple. It is said about this temple that Rishi Durvas once visited Sri Krishna and Rukamani ji and expressed his desire to walk to his place of residence. Rukmini ji was thirsty on the way and asked for water from Shri Krishna. Due to lack of water, he opened a hole and brought the water of river Ganges to that place. With this Rishi Durvas got annoyed and he cursed Rukmani Ji to stay there. Therefore, this temple is outside Dwarka.
