Off the coast of Gujarat, marine archaeologists have uncovered ancient ruins that may belong to the legendary city of Dwarka, mentioned in the Mahabharata.
Carbon dating suggests the submerged structures are over 3,500 years old—matching the timeline of Lord Krishna’s mythical kingdom.
Divers found massive stone walls, pottery, and artifacts engraved with symbols resembling Harappan script, hinting at a sophisticated port city.
According to Hindu texts, Dwarka sank into the sea after Krishna’s death, a claim now fueling scientific curiosity.
Researchers from NIOT (National Institute of Ocean Technology) used sonar mapping to reveal grid-like patterns, suggesting urban planning.
A carved conch shell and submerged chariot-like structures have added to the evidence, thrilling devotees and historians alike.
Skeptics argue the ruins could be from a later period, but the discovery aligns with descriptions in the Skanda Purana.
The site’s sacred status has sparked debates: Should it be preserved as a heritage site or a pilgrimage spot?
Further excavations could rewrite India’s ancient maritime history, proving trade links with Mesopotamia and Egypt.
As mysteries unravel, Dwarka’s discovery bridges myth and science, revealing how legends often hide forgotten truths.
