Abstract

Bet Dwarka Island is situated on the extreme west of Indian territory in Jamnagar district of Gujarat. The area has been mentioned by the author of Periplus of Erythraean Sea, who remarked that: ...[in] the Gulf of Baraca, which contains 7 islands, the sea-bed is in some places abrupt, and in other rocky and sharp, so that the anchors lying there are parted, some being quickly cut off, and others chafing on the bottom (Schoff, 1974: 38).
