Rukmini Devi Temple History

An interesting the story surrounds the many addresses for Lord Krishna’s temple and his Queen, Rukmini. Sage Durvasa once asked Krishna and Rukmini to transport him to their home for a lunch in a chariot. When Rukmini implored Lord Krishna for water to relieve her thirst along the trip, the River Ganges appeared. Rukmini quenched her thirst, but she forgot to ask the sage whether he wanted to drink any water. Durvasa was humiliated and cursed that she would be separated from her husband.

According to legend, Lord Krishna and his consort summoned Durvasha (Lord Krishna’s Guru/Teacher) (Goddess Rukmini). Durvasha, on the other hand, requested Lord Krishna and Goddess Rukmini to pull his chariot, and during their journey, Goddess Rukmini felt thirsty. Lord Krishna nudged the ground with his toe to quench her thirst, resulting in a fountain of water. Goddess Rukmini had water without giving it to Durvasha, which enraged him and caused goddess Rukmini to be separated from her beloved spouse Lord Krishna. The goddess’ idol can be found in the garbha graha of the main shrine.
