History & tradition
The Rukmini Devi Temple stands about 2 km from Dwarka in Gujarat. It is dedicated to Rukmini, the chief queen of Krishna, who is regarded as an incarnation of Lakshmi. The shrine is believed to be of great antiquity, though its present form is thought to date from the 12th century. It is richly carved, with sculptures of gods and goddesses on the outer walls and bands of human figures and elephants at the base; the main image of Rukmini is in the sanctum.
