Dwarkadhish temple is in ((Dwarka)) in ((Gujarat)). It is Lord Krishna temple, who is believed to have established his kingdom here. The Dwarkadhish temple is also known as Jagat temple. Its Sikhar (roof) rises to 170 feet. The pataka or flag of the temple is changed three times a day. Pilgrims and devotees vie with one another to pay for the flag. There are special tailors to stitch it. Before hoisting the flag it is taken round the temple by the donor. The five-storeyed temple stands on 60 pillars. The pilgrims enter the temple by Swarg Dwar (the gateway to heaven) and leave by Moksh Dwar (the gateway to salvation). The temple has rich carvings. The ancient shrine has been supported by kings and commoners alike from its inception. It is one of the important moksh dhams. The Gomti River flows nearby.
