Dwarka, one of the Char Dham pilgrimage destinations, is believed to be the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna. According to legend, this coastal city submerged into the sea after Krishna’s departure from Earth. Today, the Dwarkadhish Temple, with its majestic spire and exquisite carvings, stands as a timeless symbol of devotion. Important sites here include Bet Dwarka—accessible by boat and considered Krishna’s abode, the Rukmini Devi Temple, and Gomti Ghat, known for sacred dips.

Somnath, located on the Arabian Sea coast, houses the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is a powerful centre of Lord Shiva worship. The Somnath Temple has a storied history of destruction and reconstruction, representing enduring faith and resilience. According to ancient texts, Chandra Dev (the Moon God) built the original shrine to seek forgiveness from Shiva. Today, the temple is not only a spiritual destination in Gujarat but also a beacon of Indian heritage.
