More About Dwarka

Long ago, Lord Krishna established Dwarka on India’s western coast as his capital after defeating Kansa. Built with the blessings of Lord Vishwakarma and Varuna, this golden city featured grand palaces, temples, and lush gardens. Dwarka thrived as a center of culture, trade, and devotion under Krishna’s wise and compassionate rule.

After Krishna’s departure from the mortal realm, the sea reclaimed the city, as foretold in scriptures. Today, Dwarkadhish Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna, stands as a symbol of his divine legacy. Pilgrims visit the temple, Gomti Ghat, and Bet Dwarka, believed to be the original site of the ancient city.

Dwarka Dham remains a sacred destination, blending spirituality, mythology, and history, inspiring devotees with its timeless connection to Lord Krishna’s leela.
