Once upon a time Lord Krishna and his wife Rukmini went to meet Sage Durva. Rukmini invited them to her palace. The Russian ambassador accepted the invitation on one condition that the chariot in which they would come to the palace would be pulled by Lord Krishna and Rukmini. Sage Rukmini accepted this condition without any hesitation. The men set out for the palace with Lord Krishna and Rukmini. As per the condition, Lord Krishna and Rukmini started pulling the chariot in which the famous Durva grass was sitting. After coming some distance, Rukmini got tired of pulling the chariot and felt very thirsty. Lord Krishna understood this and then he made a hole in the ground with his toe from which the water of Maa Ganga came out and Rukmini quenched her thirst with that water. But Sage Durvasa did not like the fact that Rukmini did not request him before drinking the water herself. And because of her misbehavior, he cursed Rukmini that she and Shri Krishna will be separated. And that is why Rukmini's temple is at some distance from Lord Shri Krishna's temple.
