Gujarat Launches Bet Dwarka Corridor to Enhance Pilgrimage and Tourism Facilities
Gujarat plans a major redevelopment of Bet Dwarka island to enhance pilgrimage and tourism infrastructure. The project, inspired by corridors in Varanasi and Ujjain, includes a 108-foot Krishna statue, underwater viewing experiences, and improved access via the recently opened Sudarshan Setu bridge. Authorities aim to upgrade facilities, clear encroachments, and create a world-class spiritual and eco-tourism hub, facilitating year-round pilgrim visits and preserving heritage sites linked to Lord Krishna.
