The way to enlightenment

Along the banks of the revered Gomti river lies the Gomti Ghat, a hallowed place frequented by the devout. Considered a tributary of the Ganga, the Gomti river is believed to wash away sins, and hence, pilgrims come here to take a dip in its holy waters before proceeding to the renowned Dwarkadhish temple.


Along the ghat, you'll discover small shrines dedicated to revered deities such as Samudra (God of the Sea), Saraswati, and Lakshmi, where you can offer prayers and seek divine blessings. There are also shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, and Krishna's dear friend Sudama.

It is not just the shrines that make a visit to Gomti Ghat memorable; there are decorated camels to ride, busy tea stands, and charming local vendors selling seashell jewellery. For a unique perspective, you can also hire a boat on the Gomti to see Dwarka's panoramic beauty. Visit the ghat during the early morning or late afternoon, when it is relatively quiet, and the views of the Gomti and the surrounding area are at their best.

The enchanting Sudama Setu

Experience the spectacular vistas of the Ghat and surrounding areas from the stunning Sudama Setu, a bridge that connects mainland Dwarka to Panchkui Island. Inaugurated in 2016, this magnificent bridge not only provides easy access to the ghat area but also offers a very nice view of the river.

Sacred stories

According to a legend, Gomti is believed to be the daughter of the sage Vashishta, and its waters possess the power to cleanse sins. There are also stories of Lord Krishna personally serving Sage Durvasa at this sacred site and bathing in the waters of the Gomti, which further add to its mystical allure. It is because of these legends that devotees go to the ghat to take a dip in the holy water, particularly at the Gomti Kund, where the river merges with the sea. This act of purification holds immense spiritual significance for those seeking redemption.

Exploring divinity

Gomti Ghat offers a multitude of activities to enhance your spiritual experience. Start by taking a holy dip in the Gomti Kund, the river's bathing area at Gomti Ghat. Pay a visit to the small temple dedicated to Goddess Gomti, located within the ghat premises, and seek her blessings.

Walk along the different ghats that line the Gomti. Each ghat has its own unique charm and spiritual significance. Explore nearby attractions like the legendary Dwarkadhish temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna, and the Rukmini Devi Mandir, honouring Lord Krishna's wife and queen.

Venture to the Dwarka Math, an important religious institution and seat of spiritual learning for meaningful conversations and deep insights into the teachings. A trip to Beyt Dwarka, an island off the coast of Dwarka, offers an opportunity to explore untouched beauty and historical sites associated with Lord Krishna. Pay your respects at the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga Temple which houses one of the twelve revered Jyotirlingas in India and observe the daily rituals and prayers performed by Hindu devotees.
