About the Project
The project aims to offer visitors a one-of-a-kind chance to explore the ancient, submerged city of Dwarka. This site holds immense significance in Hindu mythology, believed to have sunk beneath the Arabian Sea after the departure of Lord Krishna, marking the start of the Kali Yuga. By allowing tourists to dive into its mystical history, the initiative adds a fresh dimension to India's already rich tradition of religious tourism.
As spiritual tourism continues to thrive, projects like this will likely shape the future of travel in India, blending history, mythology, and adventure into a memorable experience.
