Bhalka Tirth is the renowned religious place near Somnath. It is believed that Shri Krishna was wounded fatally at this place. Shri Krishna was resting on the deer skin when a huntsman named Jara mistook him for a deer and shot an arrow. The arrow went straight and pierced Shri Krishna. The temple at Bhalka Tirth is known as Mahaprabhuji's Bethak and a Peepal tree is planted at the place where Lord Krishna succumbed to his injuries. Under the tree, there is a statue of Lord Krishna carved out of blue marble which stands as a memory to Lord Krishna. Bhalka Tirth depicts many feats of Lord Krishna and preachings of the Gita.
