Vithal Rukmini: In this temple Radha is not accompanied by her wife Rukmini, Lord Krishna

Vitthal Rukmini: 

You have often seen in the temples that wherever idol of Lord Krishna is worshiped, his idol is mostly with Radha ji. Despite having 16,108 wives of Lord Krishna, the temple with his wife meets very little. We are going to tell you about Lord Krishna and his wife Rukmini temple. The name of this temple is Vithal Rukmini Temple, which is located in the village of Pandharpur in Maharashtra. So let's know about this temple.

In the village of Pandharpur in Maharashtra, Lord Krishna and his wife Rukmini have a temple named 'Vithal Rukmini'. This temple has beautiful black statues of Lord Krishna and Goddess Rukmini. This temple has become a center of deep faith for the devotees.

Vithal Rukmini temple situated on the banks of the Chandrabhaga river is on the banks of river Bhima in the east. Bhima river is known as Chandrabhaga here. During Ashad, Kartik, Chaitra and Magh months, there is a fair on the bank of the river, in which thousands of people come. In those fairs, Lord Vitthal is pleased with Bhajan-kirtan.

Many devotees also walk on foot from their homes to the temple. Which is called Dindi Yatra. It is believed that it is important to end this visit to Ashadhi Ekadashi or Kartiki Ekadashi in the temple. Therefore devotees start the journey a few days before this time, so that they can complete the journey on this day.
