Legends and aliens

Dwarka Beach is home to the sunken city of Dwarka, also known as "Dwarawati" in Sanskrit literature. The beach is an archaeological wonder that holds the remnants of an ancient civilisation, which is deeply connected to Lord Krishna's legends. According to ancient Hindu mythological texts, Dwarka was a battleground for Lord Krishna and King Salva. The Mahabharata mentions a battle with flying objects, which has sparked the interest of ancient alien theorists.

It is believed that due to damage and destruction by the Arabian Sea, Dwarka has been submerged six times. Modern-day Dwarka is the seventh such city to be built in the area.
