The Puranic period is when Dwarka's first city was founded, and an ancient site on the
neighbouring island of Bet Dwarka dates back as far as 1570 BC! Dwarka's history is
predominantly entwined with sanatan dharma and mythology, beginning with the rule of
the Yaduvanshis or the clan of Lord Krishna.
Both the Muslims and the British had previously conquered the city, plundering its wealth
and attempting to destroy its temples. It has, however, been restored each time by those
who were devout and desired to construct temples for the gods.
If you visit Dwarka as part of a pilgrimage, the temples will welcome you with their epic
grandeur, and if you merely stop by while touring Gujarat, the area is home to a number of
attractions that will keep you busy for hours. Discover more about Dwarka's top tourist

The Dwarkadheesh temple is at the top of the list of Dwarka temples. It is, in fact, the main

combined with that of the Beyt Dwarka Island. For Shaivites, this is an excellent location for
a pilgrimage. The temple complex contains a magnificent sitting deity of Lord Shiva that is
80 feet tall.

5. The temple is open from 6 am to noon and from 5 pm until 9:30 pm. It's also among the
most significant locations to see in Dwarka. In Gujarat, this is the second jyotirlinga after
the one in the Somnath temple. Entry is free for everyone, and the location is 19 kilometres

temple is situated close to the meeting point of the Gomti River and the Arabian Sea and is
perched atop a hill. The distance between the temple and Dwarka railway station is 3.7
kilometres.

It is thought to have been constructed by Jagatguru Shankaracharya and has an astounding
5000-year history.

Swarga Dwar of the same temple, there are only 56 stairs to descend. 3.3 kilometres
separate this ghat from the Dwarka train station.

9. The location where this holy dip must be taken is Gomti Kund. As Lord Krishna himself had
taken dips here numerous times, it is believed that if such dips are followed by sacred rites
to forefathers, they are released from their earthly sins.
Being a tributary of the revered Ganga, Gomti is one of the must-see locations in Dwarka.

Temple of Samudra Narayan
a temple constructed almost at the Arabian Sea's coast and dedicated to the river Gomti.
Continuous sea waves crash against the walls of the temple, echoing inside. Along with
Mata Gomti, additional deities housed there include Samudra Dev, Mira Bai, and Mata Asta
Bhavani.
Hindu mythology states that Sage Vashitha brought the river Gomti from heaven following
the epic conflict of the Ramayana so that Lord Rama may bathe in it for a holy bath and
cleanse him. After this incident, the flow of the Gomti disappeared into the Arabian Sea and
became imbedded at the ghat. A ceremonial tank is housed in the temple complex.
On the opposite bank of the river, to the southeast, lies the Panchnad & Panchkui Tirth. Do
