Dwarka - one of the most ancient cities of India was also the dwelling place of the Lord. This city hosts a grand 5-storied temple known as Dwarkadhish temple made of limestone and sand. Since the outlook of Kaliyuga, this city has been destroyed and submerged six times in the sea. The present Dwarka is therefore the seventh such city to be built. There are two gateways to the Dwarkashish temple. The entry gate is known as 'Swarga Dwar', or the heaven's gate. The exit gate is known as 'Moksha Dwar', or the salvation gate. The view the confluence (Sangam) of River Gomati flowing towards the sea is visible from Dwarkadhish temple. Dwarka derives its name from the Sanskrit word called Dwar, which means gate or door. Dwarka is the holiest cities of Hinduism and is one of the Char dhams for Hindu's. Find below some images from Dwarka and dwarkadhish temple.
