Dwarka (mythical)

Dwarka, in myth, is an ancient, legendary city believed to have been the kingdom of Lord Krishna, a key figure in Hindu tradition. Described in texts like the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata Purana, it is said to have been a magnificent, well-planned city submerged in the Arabian Sea after Krishna’s departure. Modern archaeological sites off the coast of Gujarat suggest submerged structures that some associate with Dwarka, blending myth with historical inquiry. While the exact historical existence remains debated, Dwarka symbolizes spiritual significance, divine rulership, and lost civilizations rooted in Indian cultural heritage.
