Krishnapriya Devi Rukmini

Krishna waits for Rukmini

Rukmini's marriage day-
Jyestha Shukla Ekadashi (11th Day of Jyestha)

Within a night, Krishna reached Kundina. Krishna told the Brahmin to inform Rukmini of his (Krishna's) arrival. The Brahmin went inside the city to meet Rukmini. Krishna waited at a distance away from the city and cast a glance upon the city.
