SHRii kRUSH`AN CREATED
THE CITY OF Dvaarkaa AFTER LEAVING
mthuraa
IS COMING TO LIFE AGAIN
Hinduism Today &
WebIndia2.3.com: Panaji, October 06,
2005:
Internationally renowned marine archaeologist Dr. S. R.
Rao today called for preservation of underwater cultural heritage,
particularly the Dwarka city, believed to have been built by Lord Krishna in
Gujarat.
Speaking at the 7th national conference on marine
archaeology of Indian ocean countries at the National Institute of
Oceanography (NIO, Dr. Rao regretted that many of the archaeological remains
excavated were not preserved for posterity by the agency conducting the
excavation. He pointed to the neglect of the excavated Harappan site of
Kalibangan. The Lothal site was, however, preserved and a museum built for
it, he added.
Most of the important underwater sites of Dwarka excavated
by the NIO's Marine Archaeology Centre (MAC) with funds from the Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Department of Science and
Technology and Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) should have been
preserved by a competent agency, he said.
With neither the CSIR nor the ASI
having expertise to undertake conservation of a submerged city, the
octogenarian archaeologist said he had prepared a project report in
consultation with a number of organizations and individuals including the
Indian Navy, research foundations and underwater construction engineers.
On the controversy regarding date of submerged site of Dwarka near the Gomti
river mouth in Arabian Sea, Dr. Rao said the archaeologists could not arrive
at the date in isolation, but relied on relative chronology such as pottery
and the sea-level rise.
''We are of the view that Dwarka was submerged by
tsunami-like high energy waves, pulling down heavy blocks of stone used in
the construction of the structures. This must have also resulted in changing
the course of the paleo channel of Gomti, as recorded by NIO maritime
archaeologist K. H. Vora during recent studies,'' he said.
The reference to such a catastrophe was made in the
Mahabharata and other epics which said Dwarka, built on mainland by Lord
Krishna, was contemporary to Bet Dwarka (Kusasthali) that could be dated to
17th century BCE, and this was later confirmed by scientists, he said.
Dr Rao said the three-holed triangular stone anchors found
in large numbers in Dwarka waters suggested a continuity in evolution of the
anchors in Lothal and Mohenjo-Daro, which had a single hole. The Dwarka
anchors of late Harappan phase are a couple of centuries older than the
identical anchors of late Bronze Age used in Cyprus and Syria, he added.
The discovery of the submerged city of Dvaarkaa was
