Dwarakadhisa Temple, Hindu temple in Gujarat, India

The Dwarkadhish Temple stands 78 meters tall with five stories supported by 72 pillars and features intricate carvings in Māru-Gurjara architectural style.

Archaeological findings date the original temple structure to 200 BCE, with reconstructions occurring during the 15th and 16th centuries following destruction by Mahmud Begada.

The temple serves as a major pilgrimage destination within the Char Dham circuit, where Krishna is worshipped as Dwarkadhish, the King of Dwarka.

Two main entrances guide visitors through the temple complex: the Swarga Dvara for entry and Moksha Dvara for exit, operating from 7 AM to 1 PM and 4 PM to 7:30 PM.

A triangular flag made from 52 yards of cloth, representing the sun and moon, flies atop the temple spire and undergoes four daily changes.
