Sudama Temple is a unique shrine in Porbandar dedicated to Sudama, the childhood friend and devotee of Lord Krishna. Built in white stone with a central temple, arched gateways and a surrounding courtyard, it has a clean, serene feel. Devotees walk through a maze-like pathway (symbolising life’s journey), offer prayers and listen to the story of Sudama’s visit to Krishna at Dwarka. The temple is especially popular with local families and bhajan groups, and during festivals the complex is decorated with lights and flags. For Ghoomein, Sudama Temple is perfect for devotional content connecting Porbandar–Sudama–Dwarka–Krishna in one narrative.
About this place
History & highlights
The temple was built in the 20th century by local devotees and merchants to honour Porbandar’s association with Sudama, who, according to some traditions, hailed from this region. Over time it has grown into a major pilgrimage spot, with the distinctive maze walk and simple, elegant design setting it apart from more crowded temple complexes elsewhere in Gujarat. It is now firmly part of Porbandar’s pilgrimage identity, often visited in the same trip as Dwarka and other Krishna-related sites on the Saurashtra coast.
