What you will do

Rajkot to Dwarka: A Journey Through Divine Temples and Serene Beaches

7:30 AM: Pick up from your hotel for a full day excursion to Dwarka (225 km / 4 hours approx one way).

Visit Dwarkadhish Temple, a revered shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna. This ancient temple, characterized by its five-storied structure supported by 72 intricately carved pillars, is believed to date back 2,000 to 2,200 years. The main shrine, known as Jagat Mandir, is adorned with detailed sculptures and vibrant frescoes. Expanded in the 15th-16th centuries, the temple follows the Pushtimarg tradition established by Vallabhacharya and Vitheleshnath, and is traditionally thought to have been initially built by Krishna's grandson, Vajranabha.

Explore Nageshwar Temple, located on the route between Dwarka city and Beyt Dwarka Island. This temple is renowned for housing one of the 12 swayambhu (self-existent) jyothirlingas, an important aspect of Hindu worship. The temple features a majestic 25-meter tall statue of Lord Shiva and is set amidst a large garden with a tranquil pond, creating a serene atmosphere for meditation and prayer. Archaeological excavations at the site suggest it has been a significant location since ancient times, linked to the epic name 'Darukavana'.

Discover Beyt Dwarka, a sacred island accessible by a short boat ride from Dwarka. Beyt Dwarka is believed to be the residence of Lord Krishna and his consort Rukmini. The island hosts several important temples, including the main Krishna temple, and offers panoramic coastal views. The peaceful surroundings and historical significance make it an ideal spot for spiritual reflection and exploration.

Stroll through Dwarka Beach, a serene location with picturesque views of the Arabian Sea. The beach provides a calm and relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding after visiting the historical and spiritual sites. Enjoy the gentle sea breeze and the tranquil setting as you take in the natural beauty of the coastal area.

Drive back to Rajkot and drop off at your hotel after a fulfilling day of exploring the spiritual and cultural landmarks of Dwarka.
