caption_attribution_description: English: The exterior of the Rukmini Temple is richly carved. Sage Durvasa cursed Rukmini that she would be separated (not divorced) from her beloved husband. Hence Rukmini temple is located 2 kms away from Dwarka's Jagat Mandir. This is a photo of ASI monument number&#160; N-GJ-128.
context_page_description: Rukmini or Rukmani was princess of Vidarbha and she is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna, the king of Dwaraka. Krishna heroically carried away Rukmini, as per her wish, and eloped with her as they loved each other but her brother Rukmi out of envy had forbidden their marriage because Krishna killed his uncle Kamsa who was also a friend of Rukmi. He had arranged an unwanted marriage between Sri Rukmini Devi and the evil Shishupala who was a cousin of Krishna on the paternal side. Later Shrimati Rukmini wrote a beautiful love letter to Krishna to come and take her away.
