A Char Dham town at the western tip of India — the Dwarkadhish temple, Bet Dwarka island over the new Sudarshan Setu and a Blue Flag beach.
Things to do in Dwarka
Dwarkadhish Temple
The Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka is a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna, also known as Jagat Mandir. This five-storey structure is supported by 72 pillars and serves as an important destination on the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit.
Tip: Remember that the temple closes for a few hours in the afternoon.
Gomti Ghat
Gomti Ghat in Dwarka is a serene vantage point where the Gomti river meets the sea. Visitors come to this sacred spot to witness the confluence and take in the peaceful coastal surroundings.
Sudama Setu
Sudama Setu is a pedestrian suspension bridge in Dwarka built over the Gomti River. It is named after Sudama, the childhood friend of Lord Krishna. The bridge connects the mainland to the sea side.
Bet Dwarka
Bet Dwarka is an inhabited island off the coast of Okha, Gujarat, featuring a prominent temple. Now easily reached by the Sudarshan Setu bridge, the island is historically known as Shankhodhar and is a major source of conch shells.
Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
Nageshwar Jyotirlinga is a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in Gujarat. It houses one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas mentioned in the Shiva Purana and features a massive Shiva statue.
Tip: Dress in traditional or modest attire as customary for Hindu temples.
Rukmini Devi Temple
Dedicated to Goddess Rukmini, this 12th-century carved temple stands just outside town. The exterior features rich sculptures of deities, along with carved human figures and elephants at the base of the tower. Inside the sanctum, you will find a marble idol of the goddess holding her traditional attributes.
Tip: Remember that local tradition says your pilgrimage to Dwarka is completed only after praying here
Shivrajpur Beach
Shivrajpur Beach is a clean white-sand beach with azure, clear, and shallow water located 12 km north of Dwarka in Gujarat. It holds a Blue Flag certification and features a nearby lighthouse with historical significance.
