==Worship == [[File:Marianne Stokes - Devaki mother of Krishna.jpg|thumb|A painting of Devaki with Krishna]] In the state of [[Goa]], ''Devaki Krishna Sansthan'' temple is a unique temple, perhaps is the only temple in India where Krishna is worshiped alongside mother Devaki. The main deity Devakikrishna and affiliate deities of Bhumika Devi, Laxmi Ravalnath, Mallinath, Katyayani, Chodaneshwar and Dhada Shankar were originally located at ''Choodamani'' island ([[Chorão (Island)|Chorão]] island of today). To avoid persecution during the [[Goa Inquisition]] they were taken to [[Bicholim#Mayem Lake|Mayem]] in [[Bicholim]] and from there shifted to the present location at [[Mashel]]. The [[garbhagriha]] (inner sanctum) of the temple has an [[Murti|idol]] of Devaki and Krishna. The idol of Devaki is in standing posture holding baby Krishna with her left hand. Mata Devaki is worshipped separately in a small temple dedicated to her inside the Dwarkadhish temple complex in Dwarka, Gujarat.<ref>{{cite web|title=Devkikrishna Temple, Marcel|url=http://www.goatourism.gov.in/destinations/temples/140-devkikrishna-temple-marcel|website=www.goatourism.gov.in|publisher=Govt of Goa|access-date=3 August 2019|ref=Goa}}</ref>
