Excavations at Dwarka-2007
This, profusely illustrated, interim report contains firsthand information about the most systematic archaeological excavations carried out at Dwarka, located on the coast of the Arabian Sea. Its identification with the city mentioned in the Mahabharata, and its association with Lord Krishna make it one of the most significant archaeological sites in India.

This brief report provides authentic information on the recent explorations in Gujarat, excavations in the Dwarkadheesh temple complex and in intertidal zone, and underwater excavations in the Arabian Sea. It also gives information about earlier attempts to establish the antiquity of the site.
This report is written in simple language and supported with several illustrations. Images not only show what exists but also provide liberty to readers to interpret them without any influence. Hence, this book will fascinate to all those interested in cultural heritage and history.
