Devbhumi Dwarka district

Devbhumi Dwarka is an administrative district located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat. It is organized into four administrative subdivisions, with Khambhalia serving as the main administrative center.

The district was created in 2013 as an administrative division separated from the larger Jamnagar district. This reorganization aimed to improve regional governance and development.

The name Devbhumi means "Land of the Gods" and reflects the religious importance of this region to Hindus. Visitors notice how daily life here is woven around worship practices and visits to sacred temples.

The best time to visit is from November to February when the weather is mild and dry. Local buses and road networks connect the different subdivisions, with Khambhalia serving as the main transport hub.

The ancient city of Dwarka lies within this district and is regarded as the mythical capital of Krishna according to Hindu traditions. Archaeological remains in the area suggest a long history of human settlement.
