Question

Following Bodana’s exchange of their second mūrti for a nose ring, priests from a city with this name left for Savitri Talaav to dig up a third mūrti with half-formed eyes. It’s not in Maharashtra, but Supriyā’s devotion to Shiva led to the establishment of this city’s jyotirlinga (“J’YOH-tir-lin-guh”), whose worshippers are protected from poison. It’s not Vrindāvan (“v’rin-DAH-vun”), but Mīrabai merged with an idol in this city that is the source of gopi chandan, a sacred mud that Vaishnavas use for tilak. 72 pillars support the Jagat Mandir shrine in this city, the westernmost of the (*) Char Dham pilgrimage sites. At the dawn of the Kali Yuga, Queen Gāndhārī’s curse (-5[1])destroyed a city with this name to which the Yādavas had migrated from Mathura. For 10 points, the Rukmini Devi Temple is located in a modern-day Gujarati city with what name shared by a mythological (10[1])city that sank into the sea (-5[1])following the departure (10[1]-5[1])of its ruler Krishna?

ANSWER: Dwarka (“DWAH-ruh-kah”) [or Dvārakā or Dvāravatī; accept Bet Dwarka, Beyt Dwarka, or Shankhodhar; accept Dwarkadhish Temple] (The jyotirlinga is that of the Nāgeshwaram temple.)
