About Dakor Temple
Dakor, located in the Kheda district of Gujarat, is home to the famous Ranchhodraiji Temple, one of the most sacred places dedicated to Lord Krishna. The temple’s history traces back to the 18th century and is a major Vaishnavite pilgrimage center. Devotees believe that Lord Krishna left Dwarka and came to Dakor to grant the wish of his true devotee Bodana.
Spiritual Significance
The deity here is worshipped as Ranchhodraiji, meaning “one who left the battlefield,” symbolizing compassion and divine mercy. The temple stands as a symbol of Lord Krishna’s love for his devotees. The holy Gomti Lake beside the temple adds to the spiritual aura, where devotees take sacred dips before entering the temple.
Visiting Dakor
Dakor is well-connected by road and rail from Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Anand. The best time to visit is during festivals like Krishna Janmashtami and Sharad Purnima, when the temple glows with lights and divine chants. The bustling temple market and prasadam offerings make the visit even more memorable.
