How Dwarka Was Submerged?

According to Hindu Mythology Dwarka is known as Jagat Mandir, occasionally spelled as Dwarkadhish.

Introduction Of Dwarka 

According to Hindu mythology, Dwarka is in the middle of the ocean, dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is worshiped here by the name of Dwarkadhish, or the king of Dwarka.

It is an ancient city that contains a lot of rich history myths, values. The city contains advanced technology which almost equal to now well-developed cities.

How Dwarka Was Constructed? 

Jarasandh the king of Magadha and father-in-law to Kamsa, is very angry with Lord Krishna and Balarama because Lord Krishna killed Kamsa who is nephew to Jarasandh and father in law to Lord Krishna.

So Jarasandh is rage on LordKrishna because his daughter becomes a widow because of Krishna. Then Jarasandh declared war on Krishna and Balaram when Lord Krishna was the king of Mathura.

Jarasandh declared war 17 times, every time he was defeated by Lord Krishna. However Lord Krishna leave Jarsandh alive every time, meanwhile at the time of war people of Mathura faced a lot of problems.

So Lord Krishna wants to construct a safe place for his people during the time of war as they are suffering at the time of war. So Krishna prayed Viswakarma, who is "Principle Architect of Universe".

Viswakarma replied to Krishna as to construct a city the Lord of oceans (Samudra) have to give land for construction. Then Lord Krishna prayed to the Lord of oceans to give land for construction, then Lord of oceans did as per Krishna's wish.

Later Viswakarma built a city with splendid houses which were made of gold and diamonds, that city is named Dwarka. Lord Krishna's wish to construct a safe place for his people was fulfilled. But the story did not have a happy ending with that.

How Dwarka Was Submerged? 

As the years are passing on, Gandari (mother of Kauravas) gave a sin to Lord Krishna on the last days of the Mahabharat war. She gave a sin as that all the Yaduvu caste people will die by quarreling within themselves.

Dwarka which was constructed for the safety of his people will be submerged in the ocean, and Lord Krishna will die in the hands of one hunter.

However Lord Krishna has the power to stop the sin, but he did not and accepted it. Years are passing on, once we go to the days of Rukimini's ceremony on the day Shishupala attends Rukmini's ceremony to marry her along with his friend Salwa.

But on the same day, Rukmini is running away with Krishna. Shishupala and Salwa tried to stop them but Balaram who is the brother of Lord Krishna restrict them.

So for that Salwa felt insulted that and he took an oath to destroy the entire Yadava caste people. So for that, he prayed to Lord Shiva to give a machine to destroy Yadav caste people. Lord Shiva did as per Salwa's wish.

Later Salwa starts attacking Dwarka to destroy, but the hero of Mahabharat Lord Krishna restricts Salwa things. Years are passing on Gandari's sin came into existence, Krishna knows that very soon Dwarka will be submerged in the ocean.

So he said Arjuna to move his people from Dwarka to Hastinapur, Arjuna did as Krishna said.It took 7 days to Arjuna to vacate Dwarka.And one day when Krishna is in meditation in the forest one hunter name Vali accidentally aims his arrow towards Krishna while hunting a deer.

Then Lord Krishna died on the day, immediately the city Dwarka was submerged in the ocean. The Lord of the ocean who gave land for Dwarka construction took away the land in the form of a tsunami. In this way, Dwarka was submerged according to Hindu Mythology.

According to scientific research, Dwarka was submerged in 1443, which means it is nearly 3464 years to 2021. In fact, Dwarka is one of the Sapta Puri, a Hindu pilgrimage city, present it is in the state of Gujarat in India. 

The foreign archaeologist declared it as a Dark period to India before 1700 because there was no civilization in India. If we can prove that the submerged city was Dwarka then our civilization will be the oldest among any other country in the world.
