About Dwarkadhish
Shri Dwarkadhish Temple stands in the old city of Mathura, a short walk from Vishram Ghat. It was built in 1814 by Seth Gokul Das Parikh, and is run in the Pushtimarg (Vallabh) tradition. The building has a large courtyard with painted ceilings and carved pillars.
In this tradition darshan happens in short "jhankis" through the day – Mangla, Shringar, Gwal, Rajbhog in the morning and Utthapan, Bhog, Sandhya Aarti and Shayan in the evening. During Sawan the temple is famous for its decorated golden and silver swings (Hindola).

How darshan works at Dwarkadhish
Dwarkadhish Temple follows the Pushtimarg way of worship, where the Lord is cared for like a child and the doors open only for short "jhankis". If you arrive between two jhankis, you will have to wait. Check the timings section above and plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before a jhanki opens.
The jhankis change through the day: Mangla in the early morning, Shringar when the Lord is dressed, Gwal when he goes to graze the cows, and Rajbhog before noon. In the evening there are Utthapan, Bhog, Sandhya Aarti and Shayan.
The Sawan swing festival
In the month of Sawan (July–August) Dwarkadhish is famous for its Hindola – the Lord sits on beautifully decorated golden and silver swings (hindola), and the hall is full of devotees. Holi and Annakut after Diwali are also celebrated in grand style. These days are crowded, so keep extra time.
Reaching Dwarkadhish by car
The temple is in the old city near Vishram Ghat. Cars stop near Holi Gate or the ghat parking and you walk the last part through the bazaar. A good morning plan is Krishna Janmabhoomi at opening, Dwarkadhish at the Shringar jhanki, and a walk to Vishram Ghat. In the evening, the Sandhya Aarti here can be combined with the Yamuna Aarti at the ghat. Our drivers know these timings well – book a Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour by car.
