About

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.
