Next day in the morning we wanted to do abhishek and it is done in the old temple. Since this was off season we didn’t need to book , otherwise one needs to book the slot. In the temple premises only there is a counter sher one can book. All the pooja items are provided by the priest only.There is a huge shivling inside where everything is performed. They start with a snkalp pooja outside and then we go inside. It’s a very ethereal experience for people like us.It takes 30 minutes totally.
Then we came out and there were eateries with local food. We had breakfast of dhokla , gathia and pakora with tea.
There is a place called Bhalka teerth.. here Krishna ji came to stay before going to baikunth
And then started for Dwarkadheesh. .. it’s 197 km and takes around three and half hours. Roads are not very good. There are so many wind mills and most of the houses have put solar panels n the roof, never seen so many wind mills and solar panels.
We reach hotel in Dwarka , do the checkin and then have lunch there gujarati thali, new experience for us. Wouldn’t say loved it but there were new preparations like farsan poha, sev tomato vegetable, gujrati kadhi, laddoo etc.
After freshening up we went to darshan of Dwarkadheesh. There also we had to deposit mobile footwear and smart watch. There was a long queue and we waited in line..once they open darshan and queue starts moving it doesn’t take much time.when we see these temples , we navel at the architecture and knowledge of our ancestors who made them.
Outside local items are sold , one can get good chania cholis and other dresses. Mattha and sugarcane juice is available everywhere.
Eatable are quite reasonable there Even on the way we had thepla and kalakand , both were very delicious.
