Bhalka Tirth
The spot where Lord Krishna was mistaken for a deer and struck by a arrow while sleeping under the tree. It is said Lord Krishna was cremated at Dehotsarga at Triveni Ghat. Close by lies Somnath with its shrine built by Soma, the Moon God. The Majestic monument as it stands today is a recent replication of the earlier construction. It is said that the original temple built by the Moon God was of gold. After it was razed to the ground it was rebuilt by Ravana in silver.
