Bhalka Tirth

The site where Lord Krishna was mistakenly shot, marking his departure from his mortal form.

Bhalka Tirth is the spot where, according to legend, a hunter named Jara mistakenly shot Lord Krishna with an arrow, mistaking his foot for a deer, leading to Krishna's departure from his earthly form. Located about four kilometers from the main temple, the site holds a peaceful complex shaded by a peepal tree, with a statue depicting Krishna reclining in his final moments. The calm, reflective atmosphere draws devotees who come to pay homage to this pivotal episode in mythology.
