Gomti Ghat
ગોમતી ઘાટ
A bathing ghat at the mouth of the Gomti River just outside the temple's south gate, with a small Samudra Narayan shrine at the point where river meets sea.
Gomti Ghat sits right beside the south gate of the Dwarkadhish Temple, the Swarg Dwar or 'Gate of Heaven'. Steps lead all the way down to the river mouth, where the Gomti meets the Arabian Sea. Pilgrims usually bathe here before entering the temple. Many small shrines line the ghat, and at the end of the river mouth stands the Samudra Narayan temple (Gomti Sangam Ghat), which marks the meeting point of river and sea; in the evening you can watch the sun set over the ocean. Along the banks are small stalls selling fish feed and camel rides. Open all day, free of charge. At low tide a sandbar emerges and you can walk across to the far side. At high tide and in rough weather, take care, as the steps are slippery.
