On the day of the wedding, as she left the Gauri temple in the morning, a golden chariot sped through the streets of Vidarbha, entered the royal garden and carried Rukmini away, right from under the noses of her kinsmen. The assembled kings and warriors tried to stop the chariot but failed. It was Shyam!

In the Harivamsa, Krishna abducts Rukmini of his own accord. There is no reference to him being invited by the princess. He is present at the svayamvara. Tales of him hiding from Jarasandha and his dramatic entrance following Rukmini’s letter come to us nearly five centuries later in the Bhagavata Purana.
