Bhalka Tirtha located in the Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat, India, is the place where Krishna was killed by an arrow shot by a hunter named Jara, after which he worshipped Shiva, an act referred to in the Puranas as Shri Krishna Nijdham Prasthan Leela.

Bhalka Teerth is situated almost 4 kilometers away from the Somnath Temple.
