Rukmini Devi Mandir

It's a very ancient temple with historical importance. It's said that one's Dwarkadhish pilgrimage is not finished until one visits this temple. This temple is set up in a lovely location and is worth visiting even if one is not on a pilgrimage...

Photography is prohibited inside the temple. The only downside is that toilets here are not maintained and there are none in the vicinity easily available.

Nice holy place to visit. Ull be stunned with the old architectural temple of Goddess Rukmini Devi. U may also see some amazing view with birds at the back side of the temple.

A very good temple located at the outskirts of city. Peaceful and devotional place. Mobile and accessories are allowed. Rose flower is used for puja at the cost of rs 10.

The Rukmini Devi Temple is a temple dedicated to Hindu goddess Rukmini, situated in Dwarka, Gujarat, India.
Carved naratharas (human figures) and carved gajatharas (elephants) are depicted in panels at the base of the tower.
The temple is also known for its jal daan (water offering) custom where devotees are asked to donate water to temple.
The yatra to Dwarka is completed only after you take darshan of Dwarkeshwari Rukmini Maharani.

An interesting legend surrounds the different addresses for the temple of Lord Krishna and his Queen, Rukmini. It is said that sage Durvasa requested Krishna and Rukmini to pull a chariot to take him to their house for a meal. On the way, when Rukmini asked for water to quench her thirst, Lord Krishna prodded the ground with his tow, and the River Ganges appeared. Rukmini quenched her thirst but forgot to ask the sage if he wanted a drink of water too. Durvasa felt insulted and cursed her that she would live separately from her husband.
The best time to visit is between November and February.

Very beautiful temple. This is bit of a neglected temple given its historical and religious importance. The architecture and carvings are very good but are getting ruined by every passing day. Ample of space for parking in front of temple campus.

Always learn about our history. Know it even before you step there.
Places is far away from the town and it is isolated and very calm place.
If possible, visit the temple early in the morning. You will love the Vibes and calmness.
The architecture is good. If you are a person who have eyes for architecture. Just visit the temple.

Lovely temple, the architecture of the temple was awesome, loved the flag 🚩which was hoisted at top of temple was flowing with harsh winds, which was giving a quite historic look.
🙏Jai Rukmini devi🙏

Beautiful temple. Beautiful history about this temple. Relation between Krishna and Rukmani and their history is truly mesmarizindg just like the carvings on the temple. Lovely and wish for Rukmani in my life too :)

My learning from this visit: everyone makes mistakes, but forgiveness is a blessing. If you can't forgive, at least don't curse. Because other people might suffer due to the mistake of a few.

we visited this temple today... situated close to the main road.... adequate parking facility is available....a lot of devotees are waiting for darshan...Ma Rukmani is the main diety...a very old temple....smaa one

Beautiful temple.... usually there is not any line system which is followed but when I visited it was bhog time so had to wait for some minute....but a lovely experience ❤

This is the place of rukmini mata. The temple us outside of dwaraka city. Mandir area is big and calm. You can get water as a prasad here. There is history of durvasa rushi, krishn and rukmini.

Such a wonderful place...
People are donating water (not physical water but rupees to buy on behalf of them)....its very good for that place.... temple people should have to give an invoice or donation receipt for the donation.
Overall a peaceful place and a must visit.
Jay shree krishna

Ancient temple of Rukmini Devi. Beautiful carvings surrounding the temple. Nice spacious and peaceful place to visit. Usually not so crowded, darshan would take not more than 30 minutes. Looks great in moon light

Temple of great religious and historical significance. Mata rukmini lived here for some time due to a curse to shri krishna that he would have to live separate from his wife. Later it was attacked by islamic invaders. Temple although is not in good condition now. It comes under ASI and it is clearly not managing it well. They should hand it over to government or temple authorities. But still a must visit pilgrimage site.

This temple is away from villages. It's located in jungle area.
According to pujari and local's ... Durvasha rushi shrap... For rukmani and Krishna... If you visit temple ... Their pujari tells you whole history about temple

a truly charming place, i cant relate with the ppl complaining about it's maintenance cause it gives it a peculiarly beautiful look and in my opinion this place felt way more peaceful than dwarka truly recommend visiting this

Jai Mata Di

Rukmini Mata temple is just 3km from dwarka stand. Rs 20 charge by auto in shuttle.

Calm and peaceful environment 😌

Nice temple, one time visit kind of but do not fall in trap of money sucking people, else temple is fine.
