The Dwarkadhish temple, also known as the Jagat Mandir and occasionally spelled Dwarakadheesh, is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Krishna, who is worshiped here by the name Dwarkadhish, or King of Dwarka. The temple is located at Dwarka, Gujarat, India. The main shrine of the five storied building, supported by 72 pillars, is known as Jagat Mandir or Nija Mandir, archaeological findings suggest it to be 2,000 - 2,200 years old.The temple was enlarged in the 15th- 16th century.The Dwarkadhish Temple is a Pushtimarg temple, hence it follows the guidelines and rituals created by Vallabhacharya and Vitheleshnath.According to tradition, the original temple was believed to have been built by Krishnas grandson, Vajranabha, over the hari-griha (Lord Krishnas residential place). The original structure was destroyed by Mahmud Begada in 1472, and subsequently rebuilt in the 15th-16th century.The temple became part of the Char Dham pilgrimage considered sacred by Hindus in India, after Adi Shankaracharya, the 8th century Hindu theologian and philosopher, visited the shrine. The other three being comprising Rameswaram, Badrinath and Puri. Even today a memorial within the temple is dedicated to his visit. Dwarakadheesh is the 98th Divya Desam of Vishnu on the subcontinent, glorified in the Divya Prabandha sacred texts.The town of Dwarka in Gujarat has a history that dates back centuries, and mentioned in the Mahabharat epic as the Dwaraka Kingdom. Situated on the banks of river Gomti, the town is described in legend as the capital of Lord Krishna. Evidence such as a stone block with script, the way the stones were dressed showing that dowels had been used, and an examination of anchors found on the site suggest that the harbour site dates only to historical times, with some of the underwater structure being late Medieval. Coastal erosion was probably the cause of the destruction of what was an ancient port.Hindus believe that the original temple was constructed by Vajranabh, the great grand son of Krishna, over the residential palace of Krishna. It was destroyed by Sultan Mahmud Begada in 1472.The current temple in Chaulukya style is constructed in 15-16th century. The temple covers area of 27 metre by 21 metre with east-west length of 29 metre and north-south width of 23 metres. The tallest peak of the temple is 51.8 m high.

Very very nice i love dwarikadhis

We had the fortune of coming to Dwaraka one of the mukthikshetrams in 1989 that too in the company of 28 devotees lead by Sri PSK Raman swami an ardent Ramabhaktha along his personal Deities. We left Delhi on 21.09.1989 by train to Ahmedabad and took the Okha passenger to reach Dwaraka. We stayed here till 30/09 and the stay at Dwaraka is etched in our mind. We used to wake up at 3.00 A.M. and participate in Suprabatham. Vishnusahasranamam , Geetha chanting. Dwadasakshari and Sudarsana japam , Srimad Bhaghavatha saptaham Tiruvaradhanam, divyaprabhandam and Narayeeneyam. We used to have darsan of Dwarakadeesh both in the morning and evening on all days of our stay.The temple was built by Krishnas grandson Vajranabha.Known as Jagat mandir there are two entrances to the temple.The flag of the temple is changed thrice daily.The Lord is dressed as achild , as aking and in garments of jasmines.56 items are offered daily and there are 6 poojas.An interesting feature of the temple is that the priests and servitors wear the colour worn by Dwakadeesh. It is red , pink,yellow green orange , white and blue from Sunday to Saturday.Opposite Dwakadeesh is a shrine for Yasoda and Balaram is seen in the form of Seshanaag.There are separate shrines for the astamahishis or the eight queens of Krishna namely Rukmini Satyabhama,Jaambavathi, Kalindi, Mitrabinda Satya and Badra.Situated on the banks of Gomati river the temple follows the Vallabha sampradhaya (Pushti marg) rituals. One gets the feeling of visiting a royal palace and the Lord invokes a sense of majesty unlike Krishna of Vrindavan who is everyones playmate.
