Gopal Temple

¤ Dedicated To Lord Krishna

Gopal Temple is dedicated to the blue god Krishna who is the divine herdsman, the lover of milkmaids and the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe. The marble-spired structure is an excellent example of Maratha architecture.
Lord Krishna’s two feet tall statue is moulded in silver and is placed on a marble-inlaid altar with silver-plated doors.

Mahmud of Ghazni had taken these doors from the famous Somnath Templein Gujarat to Ghazni in Afghanistan in a.d. 1026.
The Afghan invader, Mahmud Shah Abdali, later took the gates to Lahore, from where Mahadji Scindia recovered them. The Scindia ruler later installed them in Gopal Temple, bringing to a halt the doors’ long journey.
Bayajibai Shinde, Maharaja Daulat Rao Scindia’s queen, built the temple in the 19^th century. Its location in the midst of the market area right in the heart of the city adds to its popularity.
