Dwarka is an important pilgrimage center. It is steeped in legends, being associated with the life of Lord Krishna. It is said that Lord Krishna, after slaying Kansa, left his abode at Mathura and traveled with the entire Yadava community to the coast of Saurashtra where he founded a town and named it Swarnadwarika. In Puranic times, present-day Dwarka was known as Kushasthali or Dwaravati.
Dwarkadish Temple is dedicated to Krishna. It derives its name from the word 'dwar' which means door. Dwarkanath, the main temple here, is dedicated to Krishna. Archaeological excavations show that present day Dwarka is the 6th city on this site, the earlier five having been submerged by the sea. |
