Shree Dwarkadhish Bethak Mandir is a Hindu temple in Anand, a city in the state of Gujarat in India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is worshipped here as Dwarkadhish, which means “King of Dwarka”. The temple is a popular pilgrimage site and is considered to be one of the most important Krishna temples in Gujarat.
The temple was built by the followers of the Vallabhacharya sect of Hinduism in the 19th century. The sect follows the teachings of the philosopher and saint Vallabhacharya, who emphasized the devotion to Lord Krishna as the means to achieve liberation. The temple complex consists of a main shrine and several smaller shrines dedicated to other deities.
The main shrine of the temple is adorned with beautiful carvings and sculptures, and the walls are painted with scenes from the life of Lord Krishna. The idol of Lord Dwarkadhish is made of black stone and is adorned with jewelry and colorful clothes. The temple also has a large hall for prayers and offerings, where devotees can perform puja and offer flowers, fruits, and sweets to the deity.
The temple is visited by thousands of devotees every year, especially during the festivals of Janmashtami (the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna) and Holi (the festival of colors). The temple also has a charitable hospital and a guesthouse for the comfort of the devotees.
