PM Modi’s deep sea dive into submerged Dwarka, performs underwater ‘puja’
Dwarka, Feb 25 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi went on a deep-sea expedition to visit the submerged remains of Dwarka on Sunday and also offered prayers.
Dwarka, an ancient city with deep ties to Lord Krishna, epitomises India’s prosperity in the annals of its storied past. The city is a testament to the country’s rich cultural heritage and a symbol of its spirituality.
