Tour Dakor From Baroda And Ahmedabad

Dakor is famous for Ranchhodraiji temple of Lord Krishna. Temple tour dakor or pilgrimage tour Ranchhodraiji temple can be visited from baroda in a day (45 kms) and from ahmedabad ( 90 kms).

Dakor is famous for Ranchodraiji temple of Lord Krishna. Ranchor is the name given to Lord Krishna when he fled from the battlefield in Mathura while fighting against Jarasandha.

The divinity of Ranchorji is similar to the divinity of Dwarkadish in Dwarka, both being made from black stone. Devotees are allowed to touch the feet of the Deity.

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.

Temple is open from 6 am to 12 noon and then reopens at 4:00 PM till 7:00 PM. Mangala-arati is held every morning at 6:45 am. Ranchorji is dressed and decorated in public. In the morning aartis performed with Mangalabhog, Balbhog, Srinagarbhog, Gwalbhog and Rajbhog. In the afternoon aartis performed with Usthapanbhog, Shyanbhog and Shakhdibhog.
