Dwarka (Dwarkadhis Temple), Jamnagar, Gujarat


Dwarka: City of lord Krishna, well known by "Dwarkadhish ki nagari".
Shri Krishna used to live here in his Dwarka after leaving Mathura-Vrandavan, with his queens.
With Rukamani and Radha, he used to stay in Dwarka.

1.  When visiting dwarka, first place to visit is Below temple of Queen Rukmani (Rukshmani-रुक्ष्मणि माँ).
As per a local guide, when Shri Krishna was coming to dwarka with wife Rukmani and his Guru, Rukmani asked for water, that she can't wait more till dwarka, then lord krishna Inserted his fingeland and water fountain was created, both of them drunk water but forgot to ask to His Guru. Guru got angry and cursed him that you won't get sweet water in your new kingdom. So its assumed that water of dwarka got salty.


But I could not understand that water of coastle areas is always salty then the curse will be the cause or the nearby sea is the reason of salty water in almost all Gujarat.

2.  Next stopage is at Nageshar Mahadev, in ved puraan, there is some texts about twelves jyotirlings of lord Shiva, out of them the 2 are in Gujarat, one is at Somnath, Veraval and second is at Dwarka, Okha.
This was 12th Jyortirlings and has its importance. 
Also said that once, owner of T-Series music Gulsan Kumar, visited Nageshar Mahadev, he found this most famous and important temple is very bad condition, so he donated a huge amount of money for reconstruction and renovation of this temple, he also constructed a huge statue of lord Shiva, which can be viewed from 3 kms away from the temple.


3.  Third stopage comes at Gopi Talaw (गोपी तलाव). As per locatold  that Arjun Got proudy about his talent of archery after winning bettle of Mahabharat. Lord Krishna wanted to teach lesson to Arjun, so he instructed Arjun that visit to Beyt Dwarka and bring 16000 Gopis to dwark.
Also instructed Arjun that has to bring all the Gopies from Beyt Dwarka to Dwaraka Palace safe and secure. Lord Krishna also created Bheels, Who were waiting for Arjun in the way from Beyt Dwarka to Dwarka. Gopis saw a beautiful pond so they wanted to take a bath.
Arjun allowed them to take bath, Gopis entered in the pond and then Bheels attacked and defeated Arjun buy breaking his Bow & Arrow. Arjun could not defend and could not save the Prestige of gopis as Bheels were taken away the clothes of all the Gopies, due to shame and lost glory, all Gopis did not came out of the pond and burried alive themselves in the water pond. So this way Lord Krishna bring the Arjun's feet on ground by breaking is proud and also provided heaven to the Gopis by Mortification, called moksha. There is nothing much more to see near by this pond exept shops selling crafts and Temple which are build inside their houses of local peoples. As they have choosen this as their source of income.


4.  Last place to see is seaway and Bheyt Dwarka.
After reaching to the coast of arabian sea, you have to Go to bed Dwarka Temple which is situated on an island between Arabian Sea for that you need to go by boats running on common peoples NIIT Orbit private boats boats so many words are there there's Navy defence shares may be different as per difficulties but generally 10 or 20 rupees are common shares for one way trip passenger thereafter landing on the island just 200 metres away Island is the temperature Temple if you need to hire auto 12
 because it your mobiles and cameras on the window sand luggage on the another window then open your shoes and use the common lines made for security checks after the security check and Ravindr Temple see the Lord shiva and Lord Krishna and return back in the times. Provided by your bus is Varsha the common buses which you will hire from Dwarka Excel you can also have a private taxi so that there will be no hurry you can take the view of Lord Krishna as per your convenience but the temple campus curtain curtain will open only 3 times a day so keep and I on the timing and then come back to the car there you can also visit the temple sample same process is also here deposit your luggage and mobile phones and cameras and put off your shoes and slippers stand up and accuse made for the security checkup and convenience and inside the temple see the Statue of Lourdes join your hands Rekha ways and second round to the temple run come back food facilities not so good there but the peoples are very nice they do not seems to cheating anyone like other places where people try to cheat them .


You can see the boats floating and moving in the sea presentation just to the bet Dwarka and bringing them back reuse traffic hope quotes can be seen there

  1. Very poor English to describe or nerate such holy places. Regarding salt water, even I was surprised by the story. Most of the costal areas like Mangalore and Udupi(A place famous for Lord Krishna in Karnataka) one does not face such problems. Because one can find sweet portable water just a kilometer away from cost
