Dwarka

Dwarka – The Kingdom of Lord Krishna

Dwarka, one of the Char Dham and Sapta Puri holy cities, is steeped in legend and devotion. Located on the western tip of Gujarat, this sacred city is believed to be the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna. The Dwarkadhish Temple, with its richly carved sandstone spires, stands as a tribute to Krishna and is the spiritual heart of the city.

Pilgrims flock to the Gomti Ghat, where they take a holy dip before offering prayers. A boat ride to Bet Dwarka, a small island believed to have been Krishna’s residence, adds to the spiritual journey. Dwarka also offers coastal beauty, local cuisine, and vibrant temple rituals that reflect centuries of devotion.
