The above map shows the location of this city in the State of Gujarat.
Dwarka is a city and a municipality in Jamnagar district, in the state of Gujarat, India. Dwarka is rated as one of the seven most ancient cities in the country. It is believed that, due to damage and destruction by the sea, Dwarka has submerged six times and modern Dwarka is the 7th city to be built in the area.
One more city known as Bet Dwarka has been found very near, but seperated by sea, by a team of archeologists. They have carried out onshore and inter-tidal zone explorations and a few trial trenches were laid to trace a proper cultural sequence. The most potential sites, where a large number of antiquities were recovered are at Bet Dwarka.
