Neej dham prasthan theerth --.The place of death and Moksha of Krishna.

Rounded off the pilgrimage with a visit to a
temple at Somnath which is the place where Krishna was felled down by an arrow of a hunter that was aimed at his white feet mistaking it for a white pigeon .Lord Krishna breathed is last in this very place under a peepul tree [arasa maram]
The tree is still there with a temple built around it .
Seeing the saintly form of Krishna lying with blood soaked feet with a look of resignation [and a fierce looking hunter sitting with his folded palms at his feet ] brought tears to my eyes and i felt quite choked .
The lord of Dwaraka , so splendorous a form at Dwaraka lying stricken under this tree 300 kms away ,tugged at my heart.He was on the final analysis a mortal ,though an avatar purush.
