Dakor
Dakor is famaus throughout Gujarat, India, for a deity of Lord Krishna named Ranchor Raya. Krsna gained fame as Ranchor Raya when He fled a battle, apparently out of fear. Actually, He wanted to prevent needless killing and attend to His pastime of kidnapping Rukmini. Krsna’s fleeing the battle is especially glorified by devotees in Gujarat because it marked Krsna’s taking up residence in Dwarka (Dvaraka), in Gujarat.
