Rukmini Devi Temple Dwarka History:

The story behind this temple is that one day; Durvasa Muni was invited by Lord Krishna and his wife, Rukmini, to dinner. When a person is invited to dinner, a good manner dictates that the host should not eat until the guest has been satisfied.

On the way to dinner, Rukmini became thirsty and asked Krishna for help. Krishna then put his foot in the ground and the waters flowed from the earth while Durvasa Rishi was not looking. As Rukmini was drinking the water, however, Durvasa turned and saw her drinking without his permission. He became angry and punished her to live apart from Lord Krishna. That the Reason Lord Krishna's temple is in the town Dwarika and hers is located outside the town Dwarka.
