Sudama Setu

Once Sudama Setu has LEDs, it will attract more attention from tourists and devotees as it links Panchnad Tirth (Panch Kui) with the Jagat Mandir of Shri Dhwarkadheesh. One of the most well-liked places in Dwarka tour packages is this one.

The Sudama Setu carries the name of Sant Sudama, a close friend of Shri Dwarkadhish. This pedestrian suspension bridge spans the Gomti River and was constructed recently. It links the Shri Dwarkadhish temple on the island to the mainland.

The holy Panchkui Teerth on the island is connected to the Pandava brothers' mythology, and Sudhama Setu binds the historic Jagat Temple. In addition to its legendary reputation, the bridge is well-known for its stunning views of the Arabian Sea and the river. There are lots of places to sit and take pictures from here. 

An essential component of the island's tourism promotion is this suspension bridge. Along its path, the Sudhama Setu is home to five Pandava wells and an old Lakshmi Narayana temple. Additionally, the well-known Dwarkadhish temple is pretty close. Here, camel rides are also available. 

What is the story of Sudama Setu?

Sudama Setu, named after Sudama, Lord Krishna's childhood buddy, links Panchnad, also known as Panchkui Tirth, on the island southeast of Dwarka, with Dwarkadhish Mandir on the mainland. 

The island contains five sweet water wells famous as Panchkui. The wells have a connection to the five Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata. The link gives the bridge enormous religious and archaeological value.
