The Hindu temple known as Dwarkadish Temple, often spelled Dwarkadhish Temple or Jagat Mandir, is situated in the Indian city of Dwarka in the Gujarat state. It is devoted to Lord Krishna, sometimes referred to as Dwarkadhish or the ruler of Dwarka, and also the subject of the poem. The temple is regarded as one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in India and is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites for Hindus.
Vajranabha, the grandson of Lord Krishna, is thought to have constructed the temple more than 2500 years ago. The Yadav dynasty, the Mughal Empire, and the British Raj, among others, have made expansions and renovations to the temple over the years. The temple's present edifice was built in the sixteenth century.
The temple contains a multi-tiered spire, known as a shikhara, that is covered with elaborate carvings and sculptures and is constructed on a high platform. The temple is made of sandstone and limestone, and it features a number of halls and chambers that are embellished with carvings and murals illustrating Lord Krishna's life.
The daily aarti or puja in the evening is one of the highlights of the Dwarkadish Temple. The intricate ritual, which includes chanting, singing, and offering to Lord Krishna, is witnessed by the assembled devotees. Throughout the year, the temple also hosts a number of festivals and events, such as Janmashtami, which commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna, and Navratri, a nine-day festival honoring the goddess Durga.
