The sacred story
In Krishna traditions, Dwarka is associated with the Yadavas and Krishna’s later role as a leader, protector and diplomat. The narratives contrast his childhood in Braj with the responsibilities of royal and public life.
Krishna and the form of worship
Dwarkadhish, Shri Krishna as Lord of Dwarka
Spiritual significance
Dwarkadhish devotion emphasises Krishna’s sovereignty and his responsibility toward his people. The traditional ancient city, present-day Dwarka and archaeological interpretations must be distinguished.
