FAQs

Dvārakā is portrayed as so sanctifying that even the greatest tīrthas and divine powers are said to celebrate there—affirming the supremacy of bhakti-centered sacred space.

Dvārakā is directly glorified; Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) and Kurukṣetra are named as eminent tīrthas participating in the praise.

Celebratory worship through gīta and nṛtya is described (devotional singing and dancing in the sacred precincts/paths of Dvārakā).
