For families in India and Indians living abroad

Pilgrimage

Dwarka

The western dham, Krishna's city, at the Gomti sangam.

When All year. Janmashtami draws a particular crowd.
Region Gujarat

The Dwarkadhish temple and the meeting of the Gomti with the sea are the centre. Bet Dwarka is reached by boat, according to weather and tide. Krishna's story is in the stone and in the sea.

A Gujarat yatra often links Dwarka, Nageshwar, and Somnath. Do not give each place half an hour. Give one dham a full day, then go on.

This is a general introduction. Sequence, materials, and timing change with family, region, and shakha. Your priest and your own custom have the last word.
