Geography & terrain

Bet Dwarka — the island of Shankhoddhar — lies 30 km off Okha in Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat, reached by the ferries from Okha port; a flat island of temples, salt country and shore, it claims the ground of Krishna's Dwarka of the sea.

History & culture

The island's tradition marks it as part of the naval city of Krishna's legend — the Dwarka of the waves, where the old kingdom's port-gates stood; the Dwarkadhish temple and the island's shrines carry the devotion, while the marine-archaeology studies of the surrounding waters have searched the legendary city's stones.
