Dwarka: Krishna's city on the western sea
The Dwarka Safarnama is a 23 km route across 4 stops, from Nageshwar Jyotirlinga to Dwarkadhish Temple, part of the Gujarat Heritage Trail. See the whole trail.
Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
Nageshwar Temple near Dwarka is dedicated to Shiva and is one of the twelve jyotirlingas, among the legendary temples named in the Shiva Purana.
Rukmini Devi Temple
The Rukmini Devi Temple, 2 km from Dwarka, is dedicated to Rukmini, Krishna's chief queen. Believed to date back much further, its present form is thought to be from the 12th century, richly carved with gods, goddesses, human figures and elephants.
Gomti Ghat
Dwarka stands on the right bank of the Gomti River where it meets the Gulf of Kutch, and Gomti Ghat is one of its notable sacred places. The Sudama Setu bridge across the river opened in 2016.
Dwarkadhish Temple
The Dwarkadhish Temple, or Jagat Mandir, is dedicated to Krishna as the Lord of Dwarka, and Dwarka is one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites. Its five-storeyed main shrine stands on 72 pillars; archaeological finds suggest the first temple was built no earlier than 200 BCE.
