Architecture
Temple has a white carving architecture and an ancient lighthouse may date to the 12th-15th century A.D. another indication of active maritime activities. Pilgrims make a beeline for Dwarka on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula on the coast of Saurashtra in Gujarat. The city was established by Lord Krishna as his Kingdom. It is believed that most of the ancient city is now submerged under the sea but the temple on the shore, at the place where the Gomati confluences with the sea, is the most important of Dwarkas in Gujarat. For most pilgrims, this is it. However, for true Krishna bhakts, the Pancha Dwaraka yatra starts with Mul Dwarka or Mool Dwaraka in Kodinar in Gir Somnath district of Junagadh, Gujarat.
Religious Significance
Mool means root or origin. It is believed when Lord Krishna travelled from Mathura to Dwaraka he first established himself in Mool Dwaraka. According to legend King Jarasandha vowed to wreak vengeance on Krishna for killing his sons and waged a war but always lost. However, Krishna never killed him because it was decreed by fate that Jarasandha would die at the hands of Bhima and he went on to Dwaraka. He came to Moola Dwaraka, a stone slab commemorating his arrival here. It is believed that the site here dates back to the times of the Mahabharata and that it was a flourishing port. Lord Krishna and his brother Balaram stayed here before settling down at Dwaraka. There is a temple here in a dilapidated condition and a deep well nearby from where Lord Krishna is said to have had his bath. The temple houses idols of Radha Krishna, Rama Sita and Lakshmi Narayan in addition to shrines dedicated to lesser gods.
