Dwarka: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on his visit to Gujarat, dived into the Arabian Sea on Sunday and performed an underwater puja at the ancient site of Dwarka.
This experience offered a rare and profound connection to India’s spiritual and historical roots. This is the ancient city linked closely with Bhagwan Shri Krishna and was a hub of grandeur and prosperity.
Dwarka, which was formerly a prosperous city, is thought to have been submerged under the sea centuries ago.
For PM Modi, this was not just a journey through the waters but a passage through time, evoking the city’s glorious past and its association with one of the most revered Gods of Hinduism.
PM Modi paid homage to Dwarka, a city that continues to captivate imaginations with its rich cultural and spiritual legacy. Underwater, he offered peacock feathers also as tribute.
PM Modi shared pictures of his experience and wrote, “To pray in the city of Dwarka, which is immersed in the waters, was a very divine experience. I felt connected to an ancient era of spiritual grandeur and timeless devotion. May Bhagwan Shri Krishna bless us all.”
