Dwarka

Krishna founded Dwarka after leaving Mathura; the Mahabharata says the sea swallowed it after his departure. The Dwarkadhish temple stands at the mouth of the Gomti.

In the scriptures

[Traditional account]

The Harivamsha and Bhagavata Purana describe Krishna's golden city built by Vishvakarma; the Mausala Parva tells how the sea submerged it.
