Monsoon Ideas
A revered city, Dwarka is one of the most ancient cities in India. Believed to have been the capital of the kingdom of Lord Krishna, the city attracts throngs of devotees all the year round. Dwarka is particularly famous for its Dwarkadhish Temple, which is said to be almost 2500 years old. Dwarka can be visited all year through, though monsoons render a different charm to the place. As the rains pour, the city cools considerably and makes it pleasurable to travel around the city. Throw in extra clothing or two if travelling here during the rains.
