Deep beneath the waters of India’s Gulf of Khambhat lies a tantalizing mystery: an ancient submerged city believed to be over 9,500 years old. Discovered in 2000, this underwater ruin has sparked speculation that it could be the legendary city of Dvaraka, mentioned in Hindu mythology as the opulent kingdom of Lord Krishna.
Sonar scans and underwater excavations have revealed what appear to be man-made structures—roads, walls, and even the outlines of buildings—buried deep beneath the sea. But is this truly the lost city of Dvaraka, once described as a marvel of architecture and wealth? While the evidence is still being studied, the find has ignited imaginations worldwide, offering a glimpse into a possible ancient civilization lost to the tides of time.
While some researchers suggest the ruins might date back to the mythic era of Krishna, others argue that the discovery could represent an entirely different civilization, one that existed long before recorded history. Whatever the case, the submerged city of Dvaraka continues to be a subject of both scientific intrigue and mythological fascination, blending archaeology with legend in an enduring puzzle of the ancient world.
