Dwarkadhish Temple

Nageshwar, Bet Dwarka and Rukmini Temple
Start early, around 7:30 am, to reach Nageshwar before the crowd. From there the road runs north towards Okha and crosses the Sudarshan Setu, the cable-stayed bridge to Bet Dwarka, so there is no longer any need for the ferry. After lunch, stop at Gopi Talav on the way back and end the day at the Rukmini Devi Temple on the edge of Dwarka. Carry water and a cap; the coast is hot and open for most of the year.

Top Attractions
Dwarkadhish Temple
The central temple of Dwarka, dedicated to Krishna as 'Dwarkadhish' or Lord of Dwarka. The current five-storey structure, with its 78-meter-tall shikhara, is believed to date from the 15th–16th century, built over an earlier temple. The flag atop the shikhara is changed several times daily, a distinctive ritual you can witness.
Gomti Ghat
A sacred bathing ghat where the Gomti River meets the sea, near the Dwarkadhish Temple. Pilgrims traditionally bathe here before offering darshan at the temple. The ghat is also a place for rituals and offers a serene view of the confluence.
Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
One of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Shiva, located between Dwarka and Bet Dwarka. The temple features a large outdoor statue of Shiva and is a major pilgrimage site. The name 'Nageshwar' is associated with the legend of Shiva protecting his devotee Supriya from a demon's prison.
Bet Dwarka
An island a short boat ride from Okha, near Dwarka, traditionally believed to be Krishna's actual residential palace. The island has its own temple, as well as ancient relics and a peaceful beach atmosphere. Boat rides offer views of the coast and the chance to explore the island's mythological and archaeological significance.
Gopi Talav
A holy pond associated with the legend of the gopis (milkmaids) who, unable to join Krishna in Dwarka, attained union with him by meditating here. The pond is located near the Dwarkadhish Temple and is a place for reflection and ritual bathing. It is a lesser-known but spiritually significant spot in Dwarka.
Rukmini Devi Temple
Located about 2 km from the Dwarkadhish Temple, this shrine is dedicated to Krishna's chief queen Rukmini. The temple showcases 12th-century architecture with intricate carvings, and legend says Rukmini cursed the sage Durvasa here, leading to the temple's isolation from the main town.

The three-storey ancestral house where Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869, now a memorial with photographs and the room where he was born. Allow about 45 minutes.
