🛕 About Dwarka
Dwarka is Krishna’s capital and the western anchor of the Char Dham — its identity carried by tradition and crowned by the 52-yard flag that flies over the Jagat Mandir, changed multiple times a day (reported; the exact hours await official confirmation — the temple’s site blocked our fetches). 32 km — connected Okha to Bet Dwarka.
Checked 02 October 2026.

The Dwarka structure
The town hugs the Gomti’s mouth — the temple above the ghat, the lighthouse beyond, and the sea everywhere. The circuit runs outward: Rukmini Devi inland, Nageshwar Jyotirlinga on the Okha road, Gopi Talav beyond, and Bet Dwarka at the end of the bridge or the boat. Somnath sits 233 km south — the Dwarka–Somnath circuit is a roadmap phase, with both city sets now live.
