    Sudarshan Setu facilitate to reach Beyt Dwarika

    Sudarshan Setu, also known as the Okha-Beyt Dwarka Signature Bridge, is a recently inaugurated cable-stayed bridge in Dwarka, Gujarat, India. It is officially opened today on February 25, 2024, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sudarshan Setu is dedicated to the public after the inauguration by PM Modi.

    I had gone to Beyt Dwarka a few years ago. I reached Beyt Dwarka via sea route on an overcrowded boat from Okha port. Moreover, that boat voyage was an unpleasant journey. I’m sure Sudarshan Setu will facilitate pilgrims to reach Beyt Dwarka.
