A very clean and beautiful beach midway between the city of Dwarka and Somnath. It’s length is enormous and it has been maintained impeccably. There are lovely camel rides available along with very few stalls offering some coconut water and a few soft drinks. Every effort has been made to keep this trash free. Kudos to the Gujarat government and the local authorities in doing so. It’s right next to the highway and your evenings could be made memorable watching the sunset here.

Really clean temples. Facilities like urinals are available near temple. Architecture is really eye catching. Lots of Devotees comes when the month of shravan. Lord Krishna statue is eye catching. Nice place to shoot wedding rituals.

The place is located in main Somnath city only nearby other main site seeing places such as Geeta Mandir, Trivani Sangam, Pandava Caves etc. so you can cover all at one stroll. Its been renovated completely however the soul of the place remains the same. It will take maximum 20-30 minute to complete the tour of the place.Bhalka Tirth is situated in the environs of Somnath, at a distance of 5 km on Somnath-Veraval way.Bhalka Tirth is an ancient Lord Krishna temple which has an interesting ancient story associated with it. Lord Krishna had actually come to this place.Bhalka Teerth Temple is dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna. It is believed that this was the place where Jara, the hunter, mistakenly shot an arrow at the feet of Lord Krishna, due to which the Lord left his earthly existence for his heavenly abode.History and architecture always surprize. Not only because of the various types, styles, materials, intricacies, labour and intelligence put into making them but also the stories, myths and realities associated with them.According to mythological story, Lord Krishna was meditated under a Peepal tree here. Only then, Jara, the poacher mistook the foot of the Lord for that of a deer and shot straight through it.The arrows came in the feet of God and started bleeding. The hunter then realized his mistake and asked for a confession with God. This incident symbolizes Krishnas departure from the earth and was the sign of the end of Dwapara Yuga. The meaning of arrow is known as Bhal, so this pilgrimage has been known as Bhalka Tirth.

Very Religious and Nature loving place as Lord Krishna last memories are described there with lots of beautiful architect art. Bhajans are also organised in evening.

This is a place where Lord krishna took his last breath, there is a peepal tree inside the temple, beside the statue of Lord vishnu, below that peepal tree Lord krishna was hit by the arrow,

The experience one has here cannot be described in words.According to Hindu beliefs, it is said that lord Krishna came at this exact place to take some rest under a tree when Bhalaknath, unknowingly, attacked their left foot as it had an amazingly attractive mani or gem on it and he assumed it to be a deers eye. When Bhalaknath realized that he had hurt lord Krishna by mistake, he begged for an apology. Lord Krishna reiterated the saying, sab vidhi ka vidhaan hai and forgave him.This temple has an amazing idol of lord Krishna in lying down posture with the right leg above the left one. I was fortunate enough to encounter no crowd at all in this temple when I visited. I was lucky to witness the evening aarti as well which happens between 7 to 7.30 PM everyday. There are not that many beggars around who keep poking you for money here. All in all, the experience was truly surreal.

The temple commemorates the episode when a poacher, Jara, mistakenly hit the Lord shri krushna with his arrow, thinking it’s a deer. The Lord left for his heavenly abode after this episode, but not before walking 4km from here to Shri Goloknathdham Tirth. In the 9th century AD Shri Vallabhacharya gave discourses on Shrimad Bhagavat Gita here for 9 full days...... Peaceful Atmosphere 🕉️🕉️🕉️🚩🚩.

The place where Lord performed His final pastimes on this Bhuloka.This place has Lord Krishnas temple and in premises Mahadev temple is also there.

Only 3 to 4 km from somnath temple beautiful and well maintain temple

I am so fortunate to visit the beautiful temple

Good place. Very important for Hindu religion as the lord Krishna spent the last moments of his life here. Memorable place. This place has been developed very nicely so far though management needs to be maintained and clean. Visit once here in life.

Beautiful place if lord Krishna

My birthday place is very beautiful ❤️ i love bgalkatirth

This temple is made on behalf of lord KrishnaThis is the place where Krishna was killed by an arrow shot by a hunter named Jara, after which he worshipped Shiva, an act referred to in the Puranas as Shri Krishna Nijdham Prasthan Leela

Nice place. Good development has been done for sitting and surrounding.

Jay Shri Krishna.Amazing place and you will get positive energy once you reach this temple.

A holy place of hindu sanskriti

This is said to be the location of where Lord Krishna was shot by a hunter’s arrow.It’s around fifteen minutes from Somnath temple.Photography is allowed and the temple area has ample of parking.Should be seen if you visit Somnath as it’s bear by.

People after visiting Somnath temple visit here because it is said that Lord Krishna were killed by the archerer at that place.And the temple has idol like Shri Krishna is sleeping. Also it has a small lake beside the temple .Overall its a good religious place

Near to Somnath.Its the spot where Shree Krishna was injured by an arrow and ended his life.

Shastra, Holy Literature claims presence of Shree Lord Shree Krishna @ this Holy Place. Divine and Blissful. @sachinbhadresha #sachinbhadresha

Very good and nice

Feel like lord कृष्णा is there and hearing Us

Nice, quiet, calm place. Max time 15 to 20 min if you want to rest etc. External area is dirty. Could have been well maintained if focused on swaccha bharat.

This is really amazing temple. I visited this place at 7 in the morning and the environment was fabulous in and around the temple.Anyone would like to sit there for hours and enjoy the peaceful surrounding.

Bhalka Tirth Temple is a good place.

Superb place, feel relax

Very sacred temple, where Lord Krishna breathed His last. The tree, around which this temple is built is supposed to be over 5000 years old, probably the same tree under which Lord Krishna was sitting when the arrow pierced His foot.

SUPERB PLACE FULL OF DEVOTION

Happy Raj

Nice place to visit. Holy place.

If you have an interest in mythology and love one of the greatest epic you must visit this place.

I liked the information which they hve given.. peace of mind.

A very pleasant holy temple of shree Krishna .Must visit while visiting Shree Somnath

Great place. Lord krishna temple.

A very good place to visit. Must visit place in veraval - Sep, 2020

Last place where Sri Krishna was hit by an arrow of baheliya. Mythological importance.

Its a nice place maintained properly and peaceful surrounding.

Nice temple with a history of Srikrishnas mahanirvan. The king bali of Ramayana was given boon to trigger the mahanirvan of lord srikrishna. Bali takes birth as Jara the hunter and thinking Srikrishnas leg as antilope he sends an arrow which pearce Lords thumb..Jara realising his mistake bows in front of lord Srikrishna but the lord says this all was his wish. Its this place bhalka tirth where all this happens.

Its simply eye catching moment of my life

Wonderful and nice place

Nice place ☺️☺️☺️

Place where shree krishna was hit by arrow of an tribal

Very good place. Very nice temple and spacious campus for family gathering or visit.

Generally not a crowded place. Highly important Historical place.

This is the Holy Place where Lord Śri Kŗşņa ends His earthly incarnation, after fulfilling the purpose of His Pūrņa Avatār - re-establishing righteousness in this mortal world. This is fondly addressed as Hari Har Tīrthdhām, considering the proximity of two important temples in the area – one dedicated to Lord Śiva – as Sȏmnāthji - and the other to Lord Śri Kŗşņa. This place where the Lord Śri Kŗşņa was hit – just as an ordinary human being - by an arrow of a poacher is known as Bhālka Tirtha – Bhālka meaning an arrow. The Lord appears in a reclining position here – blessing His devotees with the same compassionate look in His sight – despite indicating the position when He suffered the mortal wound inflicted upon Him on one of His Sacred feet by the arrow of an innocent hunter who in fact aimed his arrow at a deer, which instead met the Lord’s foot as its target! How cruel are the ways of fate, when even the Lord is not spared from earthly miseries! When the hunter realised his mistake and ran to the Lord, profusely apologised for his misdemeanour and sought His pardon, the ever-blissful Lord, quite un-moved, pacifies the hunter saying that it was not his fault at all, and the Lord Himself permitted the act as he – the hunter was none other than the Monkey King Vāli in the Lord’s previous earthly Avatār as Lord Śri Rāma who had killed him for being unjust towards his own brother Sugreeva – and, therefore, it was no amiss on his part now to have taken revenge by hurting the Lord Himself - which paved the way to end His Avatār as Lord Śri Kŗşņa! Whatever the epicular explanation, in the eyes of the ordinary mortals – the devotees, the Reclining Lord here does bring involuntary tear-drops at the pathetic sight! Nevertheless, this being one of the cosmic plays of the Almighty, every mortal has to bow down in holy reverence to His Will alone!!!After being hit by the arrow, Lord Śri Kŗşņa arrived at the holy confluence of Hiran, Kapila and Saraswati Rivers and their Sangam (confluence) with the ocean. The Lord performed his Divine Leela of exiting from this earth at the sacred and peaceful banks of River Hiran…!

Devine place..spiritual feelings... mind meets your heart beat

Deh Tyag bhumi of lord Krishna.... very silent environment, blessed to have a Darshan...

Very nice place but should be maintained well...

The idol of Lord Krishna is really stunning and life like. It is said that under the same tree, a hunter accidentally shot Lord Krishna on the sole of his foot while he was asleep mistaking him to be an animal. When he realised who he had shot he cried and pleaded for forgiveness but Lord Krishna calmly told him that it was meant to be. There are probably a lot of historical explanations and reasons for his death but I am not sure. But this is how he left his human form.

Krishnas idol is mesmerizing...must visit.

Amazing and thrilling experience

Devotional place where lord Krushna was hit by bana . He was bhila so this place is called bhala ka tirth

It is the place where lord Krishna was shot with a baan. Temple is beautifull.

This is a place where bhillas arrow hits shrikrishnas feet. Nice Temple is built on this place. Idol is excellent. Premises is clean & neat. Ambiance is calm & quite. you can see bhilla idol as well as pipal tree in garbhgriha

Place of historical importance and very much attractive statue of lord shri vishnu.

Beautiful place Bhalka tirth is situated 4 km away from Somnath temple lord Krishna has ended his incarnation.a poacher Jara mistakenly hit lord Krishna with his arrow thinking its a deer.

This is the place where lord krishna was hit by a bow and his soul left the earth. The tree under which his soul departed is preserved and worshipped here. The place was not clean.

Very nice

It gods placeVery nice 👌

Awsome atmosphere just they need to add some information boards to inform about the history of our people

Lord shree krishna takes the last breath at this place with also small and ancient shiv mandir temple is also at here

Temple place where lord was shot an arrow in the foot, Calm temple, with a pond behind it.

Temple is good to visit while visiting Somnath. Lord krishna is the primary diety. There is a small Lord Shiva temple in the same premises.

This is the place where lord of universe shree krishna went to heaven by an ordinary hunter named Jara. This was taken place when the battle of mahabharata was completed and pandavas won the battle. Lord was very sad due to the massacre done in the battle. lord was sitting under the tree and the hunter throw an arrow to hunt the animal but it went through lord. The hunter was panic but lord said dont panic as everything has happened due to my own wish. This place has that tree and a temple in which there is an idol of lord krishna in the position of taking rest.

The Holy Place where Shri Krishna Left His Human body before ascending to his abode, due to arrow hitting his tow . The Temple is dedicated to Him, Very Clean Place , housed within vast Compound, the temple being in the circuit of devotees who visit somanath, it is advised go early before it gets crowded.Lot of stray Dogs in the compound, one of them took away one sandal of mine ,i was flabbergasted with the prospect of walking bare foot for the rest of the day or till i get a shop to buy new pair .However when i told about missing sandal to the purohit/poojari of the temple , he graciously called the security and told him to search for it as dog might have taken it. Finally the Security found the sandals far away from the temple. The Helpfulness of the Temple, Management along with security of really appreciated

This place is very pious and respected by all. The statues of almighty lord krishna is very lively and the story of Avtar sampati of the god is heart touching.

Very good temple lord Shri Krishna

Its a great holly place...

Osam.... here krishna

Nice temple of lord Krishna, where he took his last breath.

Jai shri Krishna

This place has a historical significance. Here Lord Krishna went abode during Dwaparyug when he got hit from an arrow of a hunter (who was Bali in his previous birth). Theres also a Shiva temple near this place. Do visit both of them. Highly recommended place. I have posted few pictures hope you find them helpful.

Very holy place, jai shree krishna 🕉️🙏

Also known as Bhalka Tirtha, this is where Lord Krishna was struck by an arrow. The tree besides which they were sitting is still here. Recommended for Lord Krishna devotees.

Great place to visit...Jai shri Krishna

Nice place to visit. This devine place named Valka Tirth is related to lord Krishna. It is told that lord Krishna was hit by an arrow on his foot and died after that. He was sitting an a tree and you can see the ancient tree stil here in this place. Must watch place for those who visit gujrat for religious purpose.Place is clean calm and you will get mental peace.

Thirty years back visited but now something difference as the same was renovated, new structures came in etc., etc.

At this place bhagwan Sri Krishna get his last breath after being hit by a teer or bhala.

Good historical place must visit once in life

Very good
