In a realm beyond time, where sapphire oceans kiss golden palaces and peacocks dance under jeweled skies, there lies the mythical kingdom of Dwarka — the divine city built by Vishwakarma himself, ruled by none other than Lord Krishna, and graced by the eternal beauty and wisdom of Rukmini Devi, his principal queen and beloved consort.

Now, for the first time ever, Gopi Dolls invites you into this sacred world with the Dwarka Collection, a one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted, heirloom-quality doll set crafted with love, reverence, and meticulous artistry by Nandini Zaldivar. This is not just a collector’s item — it is a sacred offering, a translated into form, fabric, and feeling.

🌺 The Sacred Story: Rukmini & Krishna – Queen and King of Dwarka 🌺

Rukmini, the daughter of King Bhishmaka, is no ordinary princess. She is considered the incarnation of Lakshmi Devi, the goddess of wealth, beauty, and compassion. From a young age, her heart belonged to Krishna — the divine cowherd, statesman, and Supreme Lord. But her brother sought to marry her to another. In a dramatic tale echoing across scriptures, Rukmini wrote a secret letter to Krishna, begging him to rescue her. Krishna arrived in grandeur, sweeping her away on his chariot as she stepped out of the temple — a moment that became legend.

Their union was not just of love, but of cosmic harmony — the divine masculine and feminine ruling together in Dwarka, a city said to rival heaven in its splendor. As Queen of Dwarka, Rukmini was revered not only for her beauty but for her grace, humility, and strength. Together, Rukmini Dwarkadish — Krishna and Rukmini — symbolize divine rulership, dharma, and eternal love.

👑 The Dolls: An Artistic Masterwork 👑

Each doll in this set is lovingly hand-crafted, hand-painted, and dressed in opulent miniature garments made with the same care and attention given to sacred temple idols.

Queen Rukmini

She wears a deep midnight blue lehenga choli, embroidered with vines of gold, silver mirrors, and floral motifs — a visual echo of moonlight on temple gardens. Her flowing skirt is bordered with golden lace, and she comes with two veils: one in soft pink netting with golden floral embroidery, and the other in a majestic magenta, both trimmed in gold.

Her jewellery is regal and symbolic:

• A full golden bridal set, including earrings, necklaces, bangles, and armlets

• A large Lakshmi medallion adorning her golden waist belt

• Peacock details woven through her crown and necklace — symbols of beauty and immortality

• Delicate pink flowers in her hair complete her look of divine feminine elegance

King Krishna

Krishna appears in his most majestic, royal form ever created for Gopi Dolls. His skin is hand-painted in a soft, radiant blue, with subtle Gopa dots on his face — a divine signature. He wears a golden yellow brocade dhoti, paired with a pink silk kurta with gold-threaded detailing. Draped over his shoulder is a chaddar adorned in peacock feather motifs, a nod to his celestial aura.

He is adorned with:

• A golden helmet-style crown, signifying his kingship over Dwarka

• Elaborate gold and pearl jewellery, fit for a god-king

• A richly detailed gold waist belt

• A miniature golden flute, the symbol of his eternal call to the soul

• Matching flower garlands for both dolls, just as worn in traditional temple marriage ceremonies

✨ A Living Work of Art ✨

This is not a mass-produced item. It is a sacred, heartfelt creation by artist Nandini Zaldivar, who pours devotion, tradition, and artistry into every detail. The Dwarka Collection took months of handwork, vision, and spiritual intention to complete. Every stitch, every painted detail, every shimmer of gold is placed with care and purpose.

These dolls will never be recreated. They are a singular blessing — an embodiment of culture, beauty, and sacred mythology that serious collectors will treasure for generations.

There will never be another like it.
