Introduction and History
Gopal Mandir also called Dwarkadhish temple is the second largest temple of Ujjain after Mahakaleshwar and is dedicated to Lord Krishna. It was built by Bayaji bai Shinde, the wife of Maratha King Daulatrao Shinde in the 19th century in Maratha Style. It is located in the main market of Ujjain. The main temple has a two-feet tall statue of Lord Krishna made up of silver coated marble. In addition to Lord Krishna’s idol, there are also idols of Lord Shiva, Parvati and Garuda. Janmashtami and Harihar Parva are celebrated with great pomp in this temple complex. In the Harihar Parva, images of Mahakaleshwar jyotirlinga are brought in to meet Lord Krishna. The doors of Gopal Mandir are said to have been stolen by Mahmud of Ghazni. These were later restored by Mahadji Shinde.
‘Ujjain’ is one of the main religious cities of Madhya Pradesh . The famous ‘Dwarkadhish Gopal Mandir’ here is the second largest temple in the city. Situated in the busiest area of the city, the grandeur of this temple has been suppressed due to the haphazardly built houses and shops nearby.

With this value, the temple was built in 1844 AD and the idol was established in 1852.
The gem- studded door in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple was obtained by Daulatrao Scindia from Ghazni , who had reached there in the loot of Somnath . The shikhara of the temple is made of white marble and the rest of the temple is made of beautiful black stones. The courtyard and the parikrama path of the temple are grand and spacious. ‘ Janmashtami ‘ special festival here.
