DWARAKA 
The Earthly Abode of Lord Krishna

It is recorded that a devotee by name Bodhano, living in Dakor developed irrepressible fascination for the sight of that Jaganmohanakara, and he paid periodical visits, times countless. With the passage of time it went higher and higher, but with the decrease of vital powers due to advancing old age and infirmity. he found it humanly impossible to withstand the rigor of the journey. Finding his predicament of passing restless days and sleepless nights, the Omni compassionate Lord suggested him in dream to procure that image, some how. And install it in his own house. Accordingly, the pious devotee ventured to dismantle it one night and succeeded in it miraculously well. But unfortunately he was apprehended by the priests on his way home, who knew it at the nick of the moment. Scenting the avarice of the earth and earthy priests, he showed his willingness to give gold in exchange, equal to the weight of the image.
