Modi dives into deep sea, offers prayer in 'lost city'
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today dived deep into the deep sea off the Arabian Sea coast in Gujarat and prayed at the site where the submerged ancient city of Dwarka of Lord Krishna is believed to be located.
"This experience offered a rare and profound connection to India's spiritual and historical roots. PM Modi paid homage to Dwarka, a city that continues to captivate imaginations with its rich cultural and spiritual legacy. Underwater, He offered peacock feathers also as tribute," an official statement said.
The prime minister, who is on a two-day visit to Gujarat, posted on X, formerly Twitter, that "to pray in the city of Dwarka, which is immersed in the waters, was a very divine experience. I felt connected to an ancient era of spiritual grandeur and timeless devotion. May Bhagwan Shri Krishna bless us all."
There was no official word how Modi went under the sea water to visit the submerged city, The Times of India online said scuba diving is conducted off the coast of Dwarka near Beyt Dwarka island where people can see the underwater remains of the ancient Dwarka city that were excavated by archaeologists.
