History of the Temple

Bet Dwarka, also known as Shankhodhar Island, is believed to be the original residence of Lord Krishna during his reign in Dwarka. It is said that Sudama, Krishna’s childhood friend, visited Him here and offered beaten rice, which is commemorated at the temple even today.
The main temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and is reputed to be built over the site of Krishna’s ancient palace. Archaeological findings from the surrounding sea have revealed remnants believed to date back to the Krishna era, adding to its historical and spiritual significance.
The present structure is attributed to the Vallabhacharya Sampradaya and is an important pilgrimage site as part of the Char Dham Yatra (Dwarka).
