Legends speak of a magnificent, fortified city – the “ancient kingdom of Krishna” – spanning 84 kilometers where the Gomti River meets the Arabian Sea.
Dwarka, the underwater city, is believed to have been swallowed by the sea after Krishna’s departure.
To prevent further attacks on his clan, Lord Krishna decided to establish a separate city on the western coast of India. The great architect Vishwakarma brought this idea to life.
The submerged city of Dwarka was built by Krishna near a place called Kushasthali, according to ancient texts.
After Krishna passed away, Arjuna evacuated the remaining inhabitants of Dwarka, after which the lost city of Dwarka is believed to have been consumed by the sea.
This event remains one of the central mysteries of Dwarka. The Samba curse – a prophecy fulfilled.
