Dwarka – Dwarka, an ancient city in Gujarat, is considered one of the seven Moksha Puris (cities that provide liberation from the cycle of life and death) in Hinduism. It is famously associated with Lord Krishna, as it is believed that this is the city he founded and ruled from.
Highlights of Dwarka Temples:
Dwarkadish Temple – The main attraction in Dwarka, this temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is worshiped here as Dwarkadhish (King of Dwarka). The architecture of the temple is stunning, with intricate carvings and a large courtyard.
Bet Dwarka (Bet Shankhodhar) – A small island about 30 kilometers off the coast of Dwarka, it is believed to be the place where Lord Krishna spent his childhood and youth. The island is home to the Bet Dwarka temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, and is a tranquil destination for pilgrims.
