In a visionary move, the Gujarat government is set to revolutionize tourism with its foray into submarine exploration around Bet Dwarka, a small island off the coast of the historic city of Dwarka. This groundbreaking initiative, announced in anticipation of the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, entails a strategic partnership with Mazgaon Dockyard Limited (MDL) to acquire a 35-tonne submarine for underwater tourism.
The mystical allure of Dwarka, believed to have been created by Lord Krishna, has been a subject of fascination for both historians and spiritual seekers. The proposed submarine, with a carrying capacity of 30 passengers, aims to provide an unprecedented window into the submerged city and the pristine waters surrounding Bet Dwarka.
The collaboration between the Gujarat government and MDL signifies a convergence of cultural significance and technological innovation. The announcement, expected during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, marks a pivotal moment for the region, promising not just a boost in tourism but also potential employment opportunities and increased investments.
The submarine, designed to reach depths of 300 feet, will offer an immersive experience with every seat providing a panoramic view of the underwater landscape. As the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with MDL, the construction of the submarine awaits the final approval of the state government, emphasizing the significance of this ambitious undertaking.
Dwarka’s historical mysteries, including the submerged city’s existence, have drawn archaeological expeditions along the Indian coastline. The discoveries of submerged walls, pottery, sculptures, and artifacts contribute to the rich tapestry of the region’s heritage.
In an era where tourism is evolving, Gujarat’s initiative stands out as a beacon of innovation, combining ancient history, mythology, and marine exploration. The Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit is poised to unveil not just the submarine but a new chapter in tourism that captures the imagination of adventurers and history enthusiasts alike.
