This
Pouranic account from then grows eloquent; exuberant; pedantic and
hyperbolic-all to ignite the dormant bhakti instincts in the readers
with a view to make them proud of their birth in the land of spirit,
and mould their life in such a way to become specimens for all times
to come. So far, so good. But now comes the controversy regarding
its location - Where did it lie? Was it in an island, or far off
from it! Orient lists, Ideologists, Sanathanists and Research
scholars have wrangled their heads over his knotty problem for long,
each advancing his own finding and corroborating it with evidence,
only to be refuted by others; for, according to Puranas that
magnificent city of Dwaraka was sunk after the demise of Sri
Krishna. Scholars like Dey, Altekar, Pargiter and Pusalkar opine
that the modern town of Dwaraka is built on the original site of
Dwaraka as described in the scriptures.
