Dwarka is one of the four sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites (Chardhams), and is one of the seven most ancient religious cities (Sapta Puri) in the country. Dwarka is often identified with the Dwarka Kingdom, the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna, and is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat.
The main draw for tourists coming to Dwarka, the Dwarkadhish Temple (Jagat Mandir), is believed to have been established more than 2500 years ago by Lord Krishna’s great grandson, Vajranabh. The ancient temple has been renovated several times, especially leaving imprints of 16th and 19th centuries. The temple stands on a small hill accessed by 50 plus steps, with heavily sculptured walls that cocoon the sanctum with the main Krishna idol. Around the complex lie other smaller shrines. The walls have intricately carved mythical characters and legends.
