Geography & terrain

Dwarka lies on the western coast of Gujarat, 140 km from Jamnagar and 450 km from Ahmedabad — the city of the Dwarkadhish temple, its white shrines and the sea's edge set at the peninsula's sacred point on the Arabian Sea.

History & culture

Dwarka is one of the four dhams of the Hindu pilgrimage — the legendary city of Krishna's kingdom, with the Dwarkadhish temple's tradition of the ancient shrine and its modern 15th-16th century rebuilding over the older site; the city's role on the old maritime trade routes, with the underwater archaeology of the legendary city off the coast and the Bet Dwarka island's association with Krishna, gives Dwarka its deep sacred and historical layers.
