Indology VII - Mahabharata III
Actual Location of Krsna's Dvaraka
Krsna's city of Dvaraka has a long tradition and is described in the Mahabharata, Harivamsa, Skanda Purana and Vishnu Purana. All traditions describe how the city sank into the sea as observed by Krsna himself. This paper describes the changing western coastline of India which is affected by plate tectonics and how these tectonics not only changed the coastline, but also shifted the course of the Sarasvati River and other rivers in that western region of India.

The result is a description of the different Dwarkas before and after Krsna (city that continually needed to be shifted and rebuilt as the coastline moved) and where the MBH-era Dvaraka ("Ur-Dvaraka") most likely existed compared to the modern Dwaraka.
