Krishna's coastal capital and the first Jyotirlinga, joined along Gujarat's Saurashtra shoreline — two of India's most revered pilgrimage sites in one journey.
The circuit linking Dwarka and Somnath represents two of the most revered coastal pilgrimage destinations in India, both situated in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Both sites merge ancient Puranic mythology with significant maritime history.
Located on the western tip of the Okhamandal peninsula along the Gomti River, overlooking the Arabian Sea — the mythical capital of Lord Krishna.
Situated directly on the seacoast at the confluence of the Kapila, Hiran, and Saraswati rivers — the first of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva.
| Temple | Deity | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Dwarkadhish Temple | Lord Krishna | Recognized in the Mahabharata as the legendary capital city (Suvarna Dwarka) established by Krishna. The current five-story core was largely reconstructed during the 15th–16th centuries. |
| Somnath Temple | Lord Shiva | Revered as the prime Jyotirlinga, associated with the Moon God regaining his lustre, and the site where Krishna concluded his earthly avatar. Rebuilt in the mid-20th century under Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in the Māru-Gurjara style. |
