for a long time,

Dwarka was a story and disregarded as obviously false.

Looked for quite a while

No proof was found

This wonderful city was genuine.

In 1930, the hunt started and Snare

Many vestiges are found in Dwarka.

In 1963, the primary archeological dig was led here

Where numerous antiquated relics and sculptures were found.
