Gopi Talav is a sacred pond associated with Krishna traditions near Dwarka in Gujarat. Local belief links the place with the gopis who came to meet Krishna, and the yellow clay found around the pond is known as gopi chandan and used in devotional practice. The site is often included on routes connecting Dwarka with Nageshwar and Bet Dwarka.
Visitors to Gopi Talav should dress modestly and respect worship, rituals, and private prayer around the water. Facilities may be simple, so carry drinking water and confirm road conditions during the monsoon. This is the Dwarka-area religious site and should not be mixed up with the separate urban lake and recreation area in Surat.
