The Pancha Dwaraka refers to the five principal sacred pilgrimage sites associated with Lord Krishna, distributed across the western Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. These sites trace historical migrations of sacred deities, mythic legends from the Puranas, and the historical expansion of the Pushtimarg and Vaishnavite traditions — moving from the ancient coastal capital in Gujarat inland toward southern Rajasthan.
