Amazing temple just like its beautiful history, just google and you will get it. Very small city, not many places to stay or eat but Temple is must visit. Krishna is called Ranchor here. Laddu Prasad was very tasty. Ghat nearby is not very clean. Near to Ahemdebad so to and fro is very quick and possible. I attended mangla aarti.at 6.30 am. Must visit

Over the years, much has changed at Dakor. From a small village of Dankapur, it has now transformed itself into a major center of religious and commercial activity in the region. The small shrine of the original temple is now encased in a large temple complex, which has grown up around it. The current temple complex is set in a large square setting. Four gates pierce the outer walls at the cardinal points. Various offices and storerooms are set around the outer perimeter of the temple. The actual temple is set on a high platform in a complex, set in the style of medieval temples from the region. The form of Lord Ranchhodrai is that of the Lord Vishnu with four arms. As is usual with Lord Vishnu, he bears the conch, lotus, discus and the mace in his hands. The lower right arm is held up in the abhaya mudra - giving protection to all those who come to Him. There may be a lotus imprinted on the hand, but it is impossible to confirm that without getting really close to the Lord. As the Lord here is worshipped more as Krishna than Dwarkadhish, i.e. younger and freer than the mature Lord of Dwaraka, His right hand is often shown to hold a flute – a favorite instrument of the Lord in His younger days. The upper right hand holds the mace, the upper left hand holds the discus and the lower left hand holds the conch. Ordinarily, it is difficult to see these "ayudhas" of the Lord in His hands. During festivals, the hands encased in gloves of gold studded with gems.

Here Lord Krishna is worshiped as Ranchorji. Ranchor is the name given to Krishna as He fled from the battlefield in Mathura while fighting against the armies of King Jaräsandha. Every day at noon Lord Ranchorji is offered fifty-six preparations, of which thirty-six are different kinds of vegetable preparations. DAKOR IS FAMOUS throughout Gujarat, India, for a deity of Lord Krishna named Ranchor Raya. Ranchor (rana-cora) means “one who flees from battle” or, more simply, “deserter,” and raya (from raja) designates a king or a respected person. Krishna gained fame as Ranchor Räya when He fled a battle, apparently out of fear. Actually, He wanted to prevent needless killing and attend to His pastime of kidnapping Rukmini, His first wife. Krishna's fleeing the battle is especially glorified by devotees in Gujarat because it marked Kåñëa's taking up residence in Dwarka (Dvaraka), in Gujarat.

what a great atmosphere - early morning the atmosphere was great. It was not too crowded. we enjoyed our time there and wanted to spend more time at the temple...a great experience indeed.....

A lot of devoted people with their immense faith in Dakor temple was great see them. The place js very well maintained and organized.

Very crowded place. We can worship God quickly even though there is a heavy crowd. Cleanliness to be improved. Very traffic oriented place. The parking place is very long distance but there is no other way.

It was a very dense forest. It was pleasant and rich with rivers and lakes. Establishing his ashram for penance had become an attraction for the sages. Similarly, the hermitage of Dank Rishi was also in this area. Lord Shiva was pleased with him during penance and asked him to ask for something. Thereafter, Dank Rishi requested Lord Shiva to stay permanently in his ashram. Lord Shiva agreed to their request. He disappeared and left behind his replica in the form of Linga, which is known as Danknath Mahadev. Thus, in ancient times Dakor was known as ‘Dankor’ after the name of Danknath Mahadev. It was also known as Khakharia because of the many Khakhra (Palash) trees in the vicinity. akor in Kheda District of Gujarat is prominent for its grand temple of Shree Krishna which have a historical significance. An interesting legend relates how Lord Krishna came to reveal himself at Dakor (Kaira District) leaving his Dwarka abode. In olden times a Krishna devotee named Bholanath used to walk all the way to Dwarka from Dakor on every full moon night to worship his beloved Krishna. The all-knowing God noticed the difficulties which his devotee was undergoing. The god told Bholanath when he was visiting Dwarka that he need not walk all the way to distant Dwarka as he had decided to stay at Dakor (Dhankpuri of olden times). So God accompanied him to Dakor. The priests at Dwarka temple were naturally upset at the turn of events. They somehow or other wanted to get backthe stone-idol of Ranchhodrai (Krishna). Both at Dwarka and Dakor Krishna is known Ranchhodrai. It is said that he ran away from battle when Kalyavan attacked him as an ally of Jarasandh. So Krishna is called Ranchhodrai - one who ran away from the battle. The priest of Dwarka knew that Bholanath was a poor man. So they told him that he should either pay for the stone idol in gold or return it. The only golden ornament the poor devotee had was his wife's nose ring. When the idol and the nose ring were placed in the scales they were found to be equal in weight. That is how Krishna changed his residence from Dwarka to Dakor for the convenience of a devotee. The belief is the Krishna idol of Dakor was originally from Dwarka. There is a carnival or fair which takes place at Dakor around February and March, (during festival of Holi).On the day of Sharad Purnima (Full moon day) which comes after end of navratri is the day believed on which lord krishna come to Dakor as Ranchodrai with his great devotee known as Badona. Thus, he fulfilled his promise. Also the temple is visited by devotees during Janmashtmi on birth

Jay Ranchhod Temple Staff is Totally Worst Not Supporting. They Don't Allow You to See God Face for a while once you entered in the temple Staff started shouting and keep pulling you outside. This is Not Good I hope Any One Who's Educated in the Staff Read this and Do Some Management for Peacefull Darshan.

One of the Panch Dwarka temple of Gujrat. It is a very old temple of Bhagwan Krishna. Temple is always crowded with devotees. The vigrah is in black stone and Radha ji is not there. Beware of priests. I wanted to offer flower, prasad for archana and priest started demanding high money after taking sankalp. I had to literally warn him to stop harassing me.

Ancient place in gujarat. Famous temple of Shri krishna. Saturday and Sunday crowded. Issue with parking. Specially 4 wheeler because narrow gali and not any ground for parking.

I recently visited your holy temple and was blown away by the beauty and serenity of the space. From the moment I entered, I felt a sense of peace and calm wash over me. I also appreciated the warm welcome from the staff and volunteers, who made me feel like a valued guest. Thank you for providing such a wonderful sanctuary for people to come and connect with their faith. I will definitely be returning and recommending your holy temple to others."

It's a Divine experience to visit this temple, you feel calmness in your mind and body & at the same time you got goosebumps when you enter the temple. Such a beautiful & divine place to visit.

Recently visited this temple. Good temple..a bit chaotic. Public was there.

Such a divine place. The aura and energy of this temple is something else. You will find peace between chaos. Jai shri krishna

The top place my god..

This is a very important temple for Krishna lovers. Beautiful in the architecture yet lone finds it difficult to enjoy and feel all the beauty and glory of the temple and the idol of Ranchhodray Maharaj. There's a crowd on most of the days, especially on Poornimas, ekadashis or any other festivals. Standing even for 1 min and taking an eyeful of darshans is also not possible nowadays. One has to hire a cab or take a public transport or an autorickshaw to reach here . it's around 67 kms from Baroda railway station. Better to reach in the early morning hours to avoid rush and the heat as Baroda is a hot city with harsh sun.

Dakor Ranchodrayji Temple is a holy pilgrimage site in Kheda district.Here is the story of the idol of Ranchod Raiji of Dwarika temple brought to Dakor by the devotee Bodana and due to the devotion of the devotee, Dakor Ranchodrai Dham is famous all over India. People are overwhelmed to see the beautiful idol of God Ranchodrai as well. This is a very unforgettable place for tourism and tourists.

A major temple of Bhagwan Shri Krishna, that attracts huge crowd, any day,any time. Reaching there or parking might be chaotic, but once you reach inside temple, it's complete peace of mind. You will go one more time for darshan after coming out.

Ultimate and must visit if you are at nadiad
