6. Mukti Dwarka

Mukti Dwaraka
Place where Lord Krishna was last seen

Mukti Dwarka is the place where Lord Krishna was last seen. At this place, there is a hall in which we find Krishna reclining on the branch of a tree with a foot dangling. A hunter who shot a poisonous arrow at his toe tip mistaking it to be the beak of a bird is found kneeling before the Lord begging his pardon.

It is over here that Lord Krishna made a pretext to ascend to his Paramapadam. As this is the place where he was ‘last seen’, this place is called ‘Mukti Dwaraka’.

Panch Dwarka Temples History

It is conferred by the archaeologist that the temple was constructed during the rule of the Gupta Dynasty which was destroyed by the Muslim forces around the 11th century. Muslim forces kept destroying the temple several times. The current temple was built around 1730. Lord Krishna settle down in Dwarka where he spent the rest of his life until when he left this world.
  • Bet Dwarka: In Mahabharat, this place is referred to as ‘Antardvipa’ or ‘Shankhidhar’.
  • Ranchhodji Temple Dakor: ‘Vijayanand Bodana’, a Rajput of Dakor was a devotee of Krishna. He used to walk every six months to Dwarka to worship Lord Krishna. When he became 72 years old, it became increasingly difficult for him to travel. Impressed by his devotion, Lord Krishna appeared in his dream and directed him to bring a bullock-cart and travel to Dwarka. At midnight, the Krishna idol broke open all doors of the temple and asked Bodana to carry his idol to Dakor. Although later there occurred many disputes among the people of Dwarka and Dakor, the original idol of Krishna stayed at Dakor.
  • Nathdwara Shrinathji Temple: Shrinathji is Lord Krishna, manifested as a seven-year-old child. It is said that the deity’s arm and the face emerged from the Govardhan hill after which the local inhabitants started to worship Gopal, under the leadership of Mahavendra Puri.
