Dvarakadisa Temple

A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma

The Dwarkadish Temple, built in 1814, is a popular temple in the center of town. This is the most visited temple in Mathura. This temple is managed by followers of Vallabhacarya, by the Pusti-marg Gosvamis. In this temple there is a Deity of a four-armed form of Krishna known as Dwarkadhish or Dwarikanathaji (Lord of Dwarka), with a Deity of Rukmini by his side. Dwarka is located at the westernmost end of Gujarat and is where Krishna ruled as the king. It is fairly interesting architecturally and there is a lot of activity inside. The walls and ceiling are beautifully painted with pastimes of Krishna.
