Mumbai to Dwarka

Overview
Dwarka is one of the four sacred dhams (pilgrimage sites) of Hinduism and is traditionally identified as the ancient capital of Krishna's kingdom — a city that, according to the Mahabharata, was submerged by the sea after Krishna's departure. Marine archaeological surveys by India's National Institute of Oceanography have found ancient stone structures submerged off Dwarka's coast, adding scientific intrigue to the ancient legend. The Dwarkadhish Temple, rising 51.8 metres above the Gomti River, is one of the most architecturally spectacular temples in Gujarat. From Mumbai, Dwarka is approximately 1115 kilometres away — a 17-18-hour drive on NH 48 that offers pleasant highway views. Planning a trip from Mumbai?

NH 48 / National Highway GujaratHistory & Significance
Dwarka's Dwarkadhish Temple is believed to have been first built by Vajranabh, Krishna's great-grandson, over the site of Krishna's original palace. The current temple structure dates to the 15th-16th centuries, built atop earlier foundations, and was patronised by the Adi Shankaracharya who established one of his four mathas (monastic centres) here in the 8th century CE.
