The Shree Dwarkadhish Temple, also known as the Jagat Mandir, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is worshiped here as Dwarkadhish, meaning King of Dwarka. The temple is located in the coastal town of Dwarka in the Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat.
It is one of the four sacred sites in the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, making it a significant spiritual destination for devotees.
The temple's history dates back over 2,500 years, with archaeological evidence suggesting that the original structure was built around 200 BCE. The temple was later rebuilt and expanded in the 15th-16th century after being destroyed by Mahmud Begada in 1472.
The current structure is a magnificent five-storied building supported by 72 pillars and features intricate carvings and beautiful architecture.
Visitors to the temple can admire the 43-meter-high spire topped with a flag made from 52 yards of cloth, which can be seen from a distance. The temple is accessed by climbing 56 steps, and it offers a stunning view of the Arabian Sea. The temple complex also includes smaller shrines and beautifully sculpted walls depicting various mythological characters and legends.
