In a post on X, Pm Modi expressed the profoundness of his experience, stating, "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." Reflecting on his underwater journey, Pm Modi shared, “Today, I experienced those moments with will stay with me forever... I went deep in the sea and did 'Darshan' of the ancient Dwarka city. Archeologists have written a lot about the Dwarka city hidden underwater. In our scriptures also, it is said about Dwarka that it was a city with beautiful gates and tall buildings, as tall as the top of the world. Lord Krishna himself constructed this city... When I went deep in the sea, I experienced the divinity... I bowed down in front of Dwarkadhish. I took a peacock feather with me and placed it at Lord Krishna's feet. I had always been curious to go there and touch the remains of the ancient Dwarka city. I am full of emotions today... A decades-old dream was completed today..."

Earlier in the day, Pm Modi visited Gujarat's famous Dwarkadhish Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna. Situated at the confluence of the Gomti River and the Arabian Sea, this temple is a significant pilgrimage site for Vaishnavites. The temple, also known as Char Dham, houses the idol of Dwarkadhish, the King of Dwarka, worshipped by devotees from far and wide.

Pm Modi's visit to Dwarka was part of a larger event that included the inauguration of the Sudarshan Setu, the country's longest cable-stayed bridge, connecting the Okha mainland and Beyt Dwarka. Renamed Sudarshan Setu, this bridge symbolizes India's commitment to development and progress.
