Bet Dwarka Corridor: Underwater darshan, 108-foot Krishna statue, how Gujarat plans to transform Krishna's land

Gujarat is planning a major makeover of Bet Dwarka, the island associated with Lord Krishna, with a proposed corridor aimed at improving pilgrim facilities, upgrading infrastructure and creating new tourism attractions. As per a NDTV report, the project draws inspiration from large religious redevelopment initiatives such as the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi and the Mahakal Lok corridor in Ujjain.

The proposed development is expected to combine heritage conservation, easier temple access and eco-tourism. The initiative follows the opening of Sudarshan Setu, which connects mainland Gujarat with Bet Dwarka. The bridge has already changed how pilgrims reach the island, reducing their dependence on ferry services. The Gujarat government now aims to build on that connectivity by developing the surrounding area and making visits more convenient throughout the year.
