Rukmini Devi Temple lies 3 km away from the main Dwarkadhish Temple in honour of his beloved wife, Rukmini Devi. This holy place, which may have been there for over 2500 years, contains beautiful marble statues and wall paintings of Rukmini’s life with Krishna. There is a belief that she was cursed by sage Durvasa, causing her to be separated from the main city where the Rukmini Devi Temple Dwarka resides.
