Dakor is a holy place where it is believed that lord Krishna located himself to accommodate his devotees who would otherwise have to walk great distances every full moon to go to the next holy location to pray to him.
The temple at Dakor is said to have about 10million people visit it per year.
However, the water next to the temple is considered to be holy water. The local public use these waters for praying, bathing, washing clothes and some go so far as to wash their horses.
It seems the local public didn’t have much to do, I must have seen over a dozen people laying around, in my brief one hour visit here.
