Dwarkanath Temple



Dwarkanath Temple, nestled in the holy city of Dwarka, lies on the coast of river Gomti. Considered to be the ancient kingdom of Lord Shri Krishna, Dwarka is also home to a number of religious spots and temples.
t is said that the original temple was built by Lord Krishna's grandson, Vajranabha, who built it on top of the Lord's abode, Hari Griha. Since studies show that that the temple was builtmore than 2500 years ago, it became a part of the much revered Char Dham after Adj Guru Shankaracharya visited the site in the 8th century. A memorial set inside the temple recalls this visit.
