In the sacred texts, it is described as a golden city with palaces made of precious stones that sank into the sea after Krishna's death. In recent decades, archaeologists have discovered underwater structures off the coast of Gujarat that some believe may be the remains of the legendary city. The discoveries consist of walls, streets, and artifacts that have been dated to several thousand years BC, sparking debate about India's earliest civilizations. For believers, Dwarka is evidence that the myth has a basis in reality, while researchers see it as a symbol of how history and religion intertwine.</p>","author_name":"Alternativ Historia "}
