Bhalka Tirth

Bhalka Tirth

Bhalka Tirth, 5 km from Somnath, is the sacred site where Lord Krishna was accidentally wounded in the foot by a hunter's arrow and departed from his earthly form — one of the most significant events in Hindu mythology. The temple marks the exact spot where Krishna breathed his last and ascended to Vaikuntha (his divine abode). A deeply moving Vaishnava pilgrimage destination and essential stop on the Somnath-Dwarka spiritual circuit in Gujarat.
