A Must Visit Place Before You Die

I think each of us must definitely visit Dwarka and Somnath at least once in our lifetime. It's well worth the money, effort and time.

Last week my mother, brother and I went there. We went first to Somnath by train. The place is famous for it's Shiva temple which is one of the 12 Jyotirlings. The evening aarti and the 'sound and light show' following it were both spectacular. Somnath's (Veraval) also famous for the place where lord Krishna was hit by an hunter's arrow towards the end of Dwapar Yug (Mahabharat)...

From Somnath we went to Dwarka by bus which is about 250 kms away. We were there at the main temple for Aarti at 7.30 p.m. Krishna is beautiful, splendid, attractive, enchanting to say the least. You can look at the beautiful idol till the security person pulls you away to make way for the devotees behind you. There are other places to see like Rukmini temple which is about 2 km from the Dwarkadhish temple. Beyt dwarka (where Bhkata Sudama gave a bhet or gift to Krishna), Gopi Talab (where the gopis played with Krishna) and Nageshwar (a Jyothirling) are some places which are within 30 km from the main temple.... The gomti river is beautiful. It joins the Arabian Sea at Dwarka. Must bathe there.....

Will write a detailed travelogue later..Although there are many useful ones already on the Net.
