2.13. Temples At Mula Dvarka/Dwarka (Junagadh)

Mula Dvarka [Dwarka] ( Dist. Junagadh ) is marked by a soliditary dilapidated shrine ** standing on a rock and not used in worship. The shrine cannot be anterior to the 10 th Cent. A. D.49 47/1. Here Figs. 69, 222. 48. The situation of this shrine, curious to say, corresponds the description of the old Dvarka given in Bhagvat Purana, in that it is the only structure left on the spot. When Dvarka/Dwarka was submerged in sea after the passing away of Lord Krishna only one building is said to have been spared. ( XI 31. 23) 49.
