Dakor is one of the most prominent Krishna pilgrimage centers in Gujarat. Lord Krishna is worshipped here as Ranchhodraiji (the one who fled the battlefield to avoid bloodshed with Jarasandha, moving to Dwarka).
Mythology
A great devotee named Bodana used to walk from Dakor to Dwarka every full moon to worship Krishna. Seeing his old age and devotion, Lord Krishna came with him to Dakor. It is believed that the original idol of Dwarkadhish from Dwarka was brought to Dakor by Bodana.
