The Lost City of Dwarka: India’s Sunken Kingdom

December 4, 2025

Exploring the Underwater Ruins Linked to the Legendary City of Krishna

Off India’s western coast lies a submerged archaeological site that has sparked widespread curiosity. Some believe these underwater structures could be connected to Dwarka, the legendary city of Krishna described in ancient texts.

Exploring the Ruins

Underwater surveys have revealed walls, stone blocks, and possible foundations arranged in grid-like patterns. These discoveries suggest the presence of an ancient settlement that may have been destroyed by rising sea levels.

Mythology and History Intertwined

Hindu scriptures describe Dwarka as a thriving, magnificent city built by Krishna. According to tradition, the city eventually sank beneath the waves after Krishna’s departure. While archaeology cannot confirm the myth, the underwater ruins keep the legend alive and continue to inspire research.

A City Lost to the Sea?

Whether the remains belong to the legendary Dwarka or an unknown ancient settlement, the site highlights the vulnerability of coastal cities and the layers of history hidden beneath the ocean.
