Description
Dwarka, India, 400AD

A reference made in Ptolemy's Geography identified Dwarka as an island in the Gulf of Kanthils, this map represents that ancient coastline, before the island and Old Dwarka subsided beneath the sea.

Dwarka was established as the capital in Saurashtra by the Vedic Indians around 3000BC. Dwarka is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat. The city's name literally means gateway. It is mentioned in the ancient prehistoric epic period of the Mahabharata. According to legend, Krishna settled here after he defeated and killed his uncle Kansa at Mathura. This mythological account of Krishna's migration to Dwarka from Mathura is closely associated with the culture of Gujarat.
