Bhalka, Hindu temple in Gujarat, India

The Bhalka temple stands near Veraval town in Saurashtra, featuring traditional architecture and dedicated spaces for religious ceremonies and meditation.

According to ancient texts, this sacred site marks the location where Krishna was struck by an arrow from the hunter Jara while resting under a tree.

The temple represents a significant pilgrimage destination for devotees who gather to honor Krishna's final moments on Earth through prayers and rituals.

Visitors can reach the temple via regular bus services from Veraval, while the nearest airport is located in Diu, 63 kilometers from the site.

The temple grounds contain the specific tree where Krishna meditated during his final hours, preserved as a testament to this religious narrative.
