The account
The Mahabharata says that when Krishna left the earth, the sea swallowed his golden city of Dwarka in a single day. Off the modern temple town, marine archaeologists have mapped walls, bastions, and a harbour's worth of stone anchors. How old, and whose, is fought over fiercely, but something built lies under that water, exactly where the oldest story in India says a city went down.
