About Rukmini Devi Temple Dwarka
The Rukmini Devi Temple is devoted to Lord Krishna's adored wife, Devi Rukmini, an avatar of Goddess Lakshmi. Although the temple is estimated to be over 2500 years old, its domed mandapa and stepped sanctuary originate from the 12th century.
The temple's sanctum has a magnificent marble idol of Devi Rukmani holding Shanka, Chakra, Gada, and Padma in her four hands. This shrine is a masterpiece of architecture in and of itself. The magnificent paintings on the walls showing Rukmini and Krishna attract tourists.
