Dwarakadhish Temple, Hindu temple in Dwarka, India

The temple structure rises 43 meters high with intricate carvings on its walls and features two main entrances connected by 50 stone steps.

Archaeological evidence dates the original temple to 200 BCE, with subsequent reconstructions occurring during the 15th and 16th centuries following its destruction.

The temple holds daily ceremonies where priests change the flag atop the spire four times, symbolizing Krishna's continued presence in the sacred space.

The temple welcomes visitors from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, with increased attendance during Krishna Janmashtami celebrations.

The structure contains two primary entrances named Moksha Dvara and Svarga Dvara, representing the paths to salvation and heaven respectively.
