You must have seen the entire Braj Mandal including Lord Krishna’s city of Mathura, Vrindavan, but so far you have only heard about the city of Dwarka established by Lord Krishna. No one really knows what the city of gold looked like before Dwarka. It is believed that this city inhabited by God was submerged in the sea.
