The identity of Dwarka cannot be delinked from Krishna—a wise strategist as well as a guardian and a guide. Krishna, having left Mathura established Dwarka and here he reigned as a righteous and wise king. After his own mortal departure, the city is believed to have submerged in the sea, taking the conception of Dwarka deep into mythology as well as reality.
Marine archaeology on the coast has contributed in another level—offshore submerged structures. As myth, as history or somewhere in the confluence of the two, Dwarka’s story enriched our time here. When you walk these streets, it doesn’t feel like a tall tale; it feels like something that has been preserved.
