Discover a masterpiece in the lap of Dwarka

Sudarshan Setu stretching gracefully over the waters of the Arabian Sea in Dwarka is India's longest cable-stayed bridge that connects the Okha mainland to Beyt Dwarka island. It is a symbol of modern engineering within the ancient charm of the city. From afar, the bridge casts a unique silhouette against the backdrop of the sea. As you venture onto the bridge, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where time stands still. The gentle sea breeze with the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the bridge's pillars is like a soothing melody.

Beauty and innovation go hand in hand

It is a sight to behold, as you cross the bridge to the sacred island of Beyt Dwarka, home to revered shrines and temples. The vistas of the Arabian Sea evoke a sense of awe and wonder, while the coastal landscape dotted with swaying palms and golden sands invites you to admire the beauty of nature. The bridge enables pilgrimage by offering a seamless passage to the revered Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka.

A bridge to the future

Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated the construction of the Sudarshan Setu in October 2017 to bridge the gap between old and new Dwarka. It has been built at a cost of ₹9.78 billion, featuring a footpath adorned with verses from the Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna on both sides, adding a spiritual dimension to its design.

As you enter the Sudarshan Setu adorned with solar panels, you will observe human innovation, engineering prowess and artistic brilliance of the intricate design, with steel pylons and cables arranged in a fan-like pattern. This engineering marvel not only amazes but also exemplifies the boundless possibilities of human creativity and expertise. Once accessible only by boat, this direct connection between Okha and Beyt Dwarka promises to revolutionise travel, drastically reducing journey times.

Beyond the bridge

The spiritual tapestry of Dwarka is waiting to be explored. Start with the legendary Dwarkadhish Temple, perhaps the most iconic temple of Dwarka. If the profound spirituality of the temple moves you, take a refreshing dip in the holy waters of the nearby River Gomati, believed to hold great spiritual significance. There is also the evening aarti, a captivating ritual of prayer to Lord Krishna that fills the air with devotion.

Take a journey beyond and explore the untouched paradise of Beyt Dwarka. Engage in thrilling water sports, enjoy dolphin spotting, and enjoy the tranquillity of camping and picnics on this enchanting island. Visit the nearby Rukmini Devi Mandir, dedicated to Lord Krishna's beloved wife, Rukmini, or take a stroll at the Gopi Lake and marvel at the nearby yellow sand, where the devotees of Lord Krishna - Gopis - were known to have sacrificed their lives.

Join the vibrant celebrations of Janmashtami, Navratri, and Diwali, which resonate with devotion and joy in this region. Explore the vibrant colours, music, and dance that fill the air during these auspicious occasions, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
