  • Rukmini temple is an example of ancient sculpture. Architecture Elements for stone Jali play key role for lighting as .per folklore this is temple of the Rukmini the wife of the Lord Krishna. This beautiful temple need restoration to preserve it's beauty. Concern authorities should give attention towards it. Also premises surrounding, roads is also not in good condition. Governing authorities should take care of it
  • It is a richly carved ancient temple of Rukmini, the beloved wife of lord Krishna. The statue of the goddess is very beautiful. The priest explains the history of the temple very well and in detail. Carving on temple is very detailed worth passing good time around the temple.
  • This is very meticulously built. Attention is paid to the minor details while building this temple. Indeed a great artwork. Looking at it, it seems that special attention is not being given to it. The place outside the temple campus is very dirty. washrooms are very dirty. This needs to be maintained properly and it needs serious attention.

  • Temple Priest is excellent. All respect for him as he is so unbiased on the history telling of the temple. Shares complete info and asks for what can be done and what to avoid for all the visitors. You also get opportunity to donate to a group of Brahmins at one go (no chaos and no waste of time). Also this temple is the only place to donate water "Water Daan" for your ancestors in heaven.
