• Dwarka Temple: Dwarka is derived from two words-"dwar" meaning Door and 'ka' refers to Lord Brahma. Dwarka therefore means Gateway to Moksha or Door to Heavan. Lord Krishna's grandson, Vajranabha, is said to have built the original temple of Dwarkadhish more than 2500 years ago, over the hari-griha (Lord Krishna residential place). The current Dwarka Temple, in the middle of the town was built in the 16th century. Dwarkadish is another name of Lord Krishna that means the Lord of Dwarka. The main temple at Dwarka, is known as Jagat Mandir or trilok sundar (the most beautiful in all the three worlds). It is a magnificent structure seeming to rise from the waters of the Arabian Sea. The five-story high temple is built on seventy-two pillars and has a temple dome waves an eighty-four foot long multicolored flag decorated with the symbols of the sun and moon. There are two entrances to the temple; the main entrance (north entrance) is called "moksha Dwara" (Door to Salvation) which leads to the main market. The south entrance is called "Swarga Dwarka" (Gate to Heaven) which has 56 steps that lead to Gomati River. It's exquisitely carved shikhar, reaching a height of 43 meters and the huge flag made from 52 yards of cloth, can be seen from as far away as 10 km.
