About Dehotsarg
Dehotsarg Tirth, in the area known as Golokdham, lies beside the Hiran river near Somnath Temple. By tradition, Krishna left the earth from here after being struck by the hunter's arrow at Bhalka Tirth. The Geeta Mandir here has 18 pillars inscribed with the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, and nearby Baldevji's Cave is linked to Krishna's elder brother Balarama.
