"A large number of stone anchors from Dwarka waters indicate that Dwarka was one of the most active ports in the past.

Explorations and excavations in Okhamandal area have brought to light two protohistoric (Harappan Period) sites at Nageshwar and
Bet Dwarka so far and few historical period sites such as at Dwarka, Bet Dwarka, Dhrasanbel, Positra and Pindara. Other modern villages probably came into existence during medieval period. The findings
suggest that Okhamandal area attracted the seafarers and settlers from the very beginning of the civilization in India and continued till today, perhaps due to the richness of the varieties of shells, fishes, conducive climate and safe harbour."
