Krishna Marrying Rukmini



Rukmini is thinking for Krishna all the time. She grew up hearing about the pastimes of Krishna through Narada Muni.













She wanted to marry Krishna but her brother Rukmi wanted her to marry his friend Sishupal. So she sends a brahmana with the letter to Krishna. In the letter she writes to Krishna asking him to come and take her and get married. The messenger takes the letter and meets Krishna. Krishna received the brahmana with love and affection and gives him food and nice place to sleep. He puts the brahmanas leg on his lap and presses and enquires about his arrival







Rukmini is looking through the window for the messenger to arrive. Finally she sees him and becomes happy. She is much eager to know from him about the news from Krishna.








Rukmini goes to temple before marraige, her heart was always thinking of Krishna but the wedding arrangements are for Sisupal. But she has faith that Krishna will come and take her away. She meets Krishna outside the temple in the chariot.







Krishna kidnaps Rukmini from the temple and places her in his chariot and drives to Dwaraka
