Beyt Dwarka, an island off the coastline of the Indian state of Gujarat, is of great historical and religious relevance. It is believed to be the Dwarka city of ancient times where Lord Krishna had lived while reigning as a king. The isle is part of the extensive Dwarka region that is associated with many ancient literatures, the Mahabharata and the Skanda Purana for instance.


Beyt Dwarka History is intertwined with mythology which cannot be excluded as part of the history. People have it that the said island was once the kingdom of Lord Krishna and it was here that his wife Rukmini lived. The island was also purportedly very active as a port engaged in maritime trade. Archaeology has been able to unearth some materials that purport to illustrate that this island engaged in very active trade during the early historic times.


In Contemporary history, Beyt Dwarka has become one of the numerous pilgrimage centres in India that are frequented by many devotees. The island has several houses of worship devoted to Lord Krishna and other gods, including the renowned Shri Krishna Temple which is legendary to have been built by Krishna’s great-grandson, Vajranabh.
