Dwaraka Update (1)

Medieval age structure and objects found in Dwarka


The recovery of structural remains of medieval age by underwater wing of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) off the coast of this pilgrim town has once again raised hopes of the discovery of Lord Krishna’s legendary city of Dwarka that is reported to have submerged.
The recent off-shore excavation by ASI has revealed a structure of stone blocks with post holes to fit wood. Moreover, the team excavating the area have found coins, pottery, pieces of bangles and toys.
Alok Tripathi of the ASI said that the excavation near the northern gate of Dwarkadish temple has revealed some structural remains of medieval age. Officials said that the discovery is an important landmark as it set to rest the doubts expressed by historians about the very existence of the legendary Dwarka city

Marine archaeological explorations off Dwarka by the NIO have thrown up a large number of randomly scattered stone structures. Semicircular, rectangular or square in shape, the structures are found at depths ranging inter-tidal zone to 6 m. A number of stone anchors have also been unearthed, which suggest that Dwarka was once a busy port. A comparative study with surrounding sites indicates that the structures date back to somewhere between the historical and the late medieval periods.

I guess I will have to try and contact ASI. I will ask Mike Singh to do it as he lives there. A local that speaks the language should get better info

They do have a website

Thanks, thats great. I wonder why more information hasn't been let out since then?

Just a note, they said "remains of medieval age". Do they mean that they are dated to the medieval period? That would indicate that this city is much younger then Dwarka. As far as I know Dwarka was an ancient city that 'sank' when the epics were written. If people were still inhabiting this city in the medieval period then it can't be Dwarka.
