Untitled[edit]

The Dwarkadhish temple page is not yet edited fully. The defects can be changed as and when informed. I request all to be patient and help this article meet Wikipedia standards. Scalebelow (talk) 16:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Scalebelow[reply]

This temple and the surrounding site was recently nominated as a UNESCO world heritage site and hence I decided to create the page which I found didn't exist in Wikipedia Scalebelow (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Scalebelow[reply]

I'll remove the speedy deletion template for now since you've cleaned up most of the travel article-like stuff that I had issue with. I suggest you find a reliable source that backs up the UNESCO recognition as soon as you can so that the article's main claim of notability is supported.

Reliable source for "2500 years old"[edit]

Some editors are repeatedly adding information that the "temple is 2500 years old". But, most of the sources given are not credible. Some are mirrors of other sources. For example, a source given is a travel guide which cannot be credible to determine the age of construction. Most of the sources are travel guides and just claim that it is 2500 years old. We need more authentic sources to add such critical information to the article. Hope other editors would understand. Rayabhari (talk) 16:21, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. We need archaeological reports, not just claims with no evidence. There's no doubt that the main structure is relatively new, just a few centuries old. I saw something that suggested there were ruins dating to around the 2nd century CE but it was just a snippet of something, not useful. Dougweller (talk) 18:04, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dwarkadhish temple[edit]

Why it is not indicated that there was the Dwarka if gold, which has been sunk down in the sea after the curse of gandhari to krishna with the real story? Kush Marvi (talk) 05:56, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add section with reference for it --Kartik Mistry ^talk 06:25, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kush Marvi: Please read your talk page. You are adding unsourced dubious material and changing sourced dates, and you haven't explained the latter. Doug Weller talk 15:49, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
