Shri Dwarkadhish Gopal Mandir

Shri Dwarkadhish Gopal Mandir, located in the heart of Ujjain, is a renowned temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Built in the 19th century by the Scindia rulers, this temple is an excellent example of Maratha architecture. Situated at the center of the bustling market square, the temple’s grandeur and spiritual aura attract devotees and history enthusiasts alike.

The temple features a majestic marble towered structure that stands out amidst the surrounding marketplace. It houses a stunning 2-foot-tall black stone idol of Lord Krishna, referred to as Dwarkadhish, resting on a silver-plated altar. The idol is adorned with exquisite silver and gold jewelry, enhancing its divine charm. A unique historical feature is the door stolen by Mahmud of Ghazni from the Somnath Temple, which has now been installed here, adding to the temple's cultural and historical significance.
