About Sudama Mandir
Sudama Mandir is a temple in central Porbandar dedicated to Sudama, the childhood friend of Lord Krishna; tradition holds that Porbandar was Sudama's home town. The present temple was built between 1902 and 1907, with marble pillars and a carved shikhara (spire). In the courtyard is a maze-like path called the Lakh Chorasi, which devotees walk as a ritual.
