PM Modi descended into the azure waters to pay homage to the submerged city, offering peacock feathers, a symbolic tribute to Lord Krishna. Describing the experience as profoundly divine, he expressed a sense of connection to an ancient era of spiritual grandeur and timeless devotion.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister inaugurated ‘Sudarshan Setu’, the country’s longest cable-stayed bridge, spanning 2.32 km and connecting Beyt Dwarka island to mainland Okha in Gujarat’s Devbhumi Dwarka district. The bridge, adorned with verses from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna, stands as a testament to India’s cultural heritage.

Constructed at a cost of ₹ 979 crore, the bridge features a unique design, blending modern engineering with traditional symbolism.
