Gopi Talab (Gopi Pond) - Dwarka It is 21 km from Dwarka and 5 km from Nageshwar Jyotirlinga temple. Story is related with Arjuna. After the battle at Kurukshetra, Arjuna thought himself to be the best warrior of the world. To show him his place, Lord Krishna asked him to escort his queens to Bet Dwarka. On the way, just near this pond, Arjuna was attacked by people of Kaba community, and Arjuna was defeated. The queens were shocked at this and died in this pond. So it is called Gopi Talav. The famous phrase "Kabe Arjun luntiyo,vohi dhanush vohi ban" reflects this incident. Gopi Talab is a small pond and the sandal like yellow sand is known as Gopi Chandan. The devotees take Gopi Chandan, believing it to be very good for skin diseases.
