In Sanskrit writing it is marked as one of the seven most prehistoric towns in the India. The renowned city of Dwaraka was the place of abode for Lord Krishna during a long span of his life. That has been one reason why he was named as ‘Dwarkadhish’. It is alleged that due to destruction by the sea, Dwaraka submerged six times and therefore the seventh such city to be built in the area. There is a tremendous potential of development of tourism considering a golden history of it and the presence of not just a place of worship but marvelous geographical location of it.

This paper attempts to highlight some of the issues related to the development and betterment of tourism activity in Dwarka. Key Words: Dwarka, prehistoric, tourism, shrine, religious, festival. 1. INTRODUCTION Dwarka is situated in the Jamnagar District of Gujarat state in India. It is close to where the river Gomti mergesintothe Gulfof Kutch. The city is situated in the westernmost part of India. The city was designed and constructed by Architect Vishwakarma on the orders of Lord Krishna. The Land was reclaimed from the sea near the western shores of Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Dwarka was a planned city on the banks of Gomati River. It was also known as Dwaramati, Dwaravati and Kushsthali symbolizing the new gate to the new life for people of Mathura. Lord Sri Krishna renounced war in Mathura for the greater good of people living in the region and was hence called by the name Ranchodrai-for the betterment and safety ofthedwellers of Mathura he left his hometown and the battleground as well. Lord Sri Krishna had previously killed Kansa who was a cruel king ruled the city and his maternal uncle. Later Krishna made Ugrasen-Kansa'sfatherthekingofMathura.Thefather-in-lawof Kansa namely Jarasandha who was the king of Magadha with hisfriendKalayavanattackedMathura 17times.For thesafetyof the people, Krishna and the Yadavas decided to move the capital from Mathura to Dwaraka. After Krishna left the earth for Vaikunta,about 36 years after the Mahabharat War (3138 BC), and the major Yadava leaderswerekilledindisputesamong themselves, Arjuna went to Dwarka to bring Krishna's grandsons and the Yadava wives to Hastinapur, to safety. After Arjuna left Dwarka, it was submerged into the sea. Following is the account given by Arjuna, found in the Mahabharata: Imposed on it by nature. The sea rushed into the city. It coursed through the streets of the beautiful city. The sea covered up everything in the city. I saw the beautiful buildings becoming submerged one by one. In a matter of a few moments it was all over. The sea had now become as placid as a lake. There was no trace of the city. Dwaraka was just a name; just a memory. The Vishnu Purana also mentions the submersion of Dwarka, stating On the same day that Krishna departed from the earth the powerful dark-bodied kali age descended. The oceans rose and submerged the whole of Dwarka. 1.1 Characteristics and features of Dwarka Town The city was built by Vishwakarma on the order of Lord Krishna. Dwarka was a planned city, on the banks of Gomati River. It had six well-organized sectors, residential and commercial zones, wide roads, plazas, palaces and many public utilities. A hall called "Sudharma Sabha" was built to hold public meetings. The city also boasted having the possession of a goodsea harbour. The city had 700,000 palaces made of gold, silver and other precious stones. Each one of Lord Krishna's 16108 wives had her own palace. Besides this, the city had beautiful gardens filled with flowers of all seasonsandbeautiful lakes. Thecityderivesits name from word dwar meaning door or gate in the Sanskrit language. Dwarka is considered to be one of the holiest cities in Hinduism and one of the 4 main "dhams" along with Badrinath, Puri, Rameswaram. The city is especially respected by Vaishnavas. Jagatmandir temple which houses the idol of Dwarkadhish, which is one of the forms of Lord Krishna, is also located in Dwaraka. Nageshwar Jyotirling, one of the 12 holy shrines of Lord Shiva, is located near Dwaraka. The Lord here is dressed in Kalyana Kolam where he appears to be a Royal Wedding costume. The place is so sacred as Lord Shri Krishna himself had resided and his successors had built the temple. It is one of the 108 Divya desam.

The World Tourism Organization (WTO) claims that tourism is at present is the world’s largest commerce with annual revenues of over 3 trillion dollars. Tourism provides over six million jobs in the United States, making it the country's largest employer. In India out of the total GDP, 9.6% is the contribution of this industry which was marked as world’s seventh largest in the year 2017.Matheson and Wall (1982) created a good working definition of tourism as: “The temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence, the activities undertaken duringtheirstayinthosedestinations,andthefacilitiescreatedtocater to their needs." The present temple was built in 16th century CE, while the original temple was believed to have been built by Krishna's grandson, Vajranabha. The 5-storied temple is made of limestone and sand. A flag hoisted in the temple tower five times each day. There are two gateways - Swarga Dwar, where pilgrimsenter,and Moksha Dwar,wherepilgrims exit.Fromthe temple one can view the Sangam (confluence) of River Gomati flowing towards the sea. In Dwaraka, there are also shrines for Vasudeva, Devaki, Balarama and Revati, Subhadra, Rukmini Devi, Jambavati Devi and Satyabhama Devi. Thereisa special temple for Rukmini Devi on the way to Bet Dwarka. A similar deity of Lord Dwarakanath is also kept in Bet Dwaraka. The temple has many Shrines of Lakshmi Narayana, Trivikrama, Jambavati Devi, Satyabhama Devi and Rukmini Devi. 2. Methodology of study and analysis of Tourism in Dwarka A group of 20 students accompanied by two faculties from the department of Civil Engineering had stayed and done the local surveys of people with sample size 0.5% and understood the overall socio economic scenario along with the Infrastructural facilities available especially from the point of view to study the Urban Planningand relatedsubjects.Thestudents visitedlocal authorities, archeological survey of India office, government of Gujarat Tourism Department and all the potential sites where there was a possibility of development and strengthening the infrastructure to support and grow the tourism activityinorder to uplift the overall socio economic scenario of city dwellers. Local tourists visit from many other districts of Gujarat. Other National tourists are observed from all the states of India since the presence of the Jyotriling of Lord Shiva, but out of those tourists visiting Dwarka from the other states of India, 65% of them are from southern part of India. There are foreigntourists who also seem to be interested to visit the place due to organizations like ISCKON and the other reason being the submerged Dwarka into the sea and the interest from the point of view of research in the fieldlikearcheology.Mostofthetimes theforeign tourists are observed only during the winter time in December month.
