Whenever there is a cyclonic storm in Arabian Sea, two flags
are hoisted atop the main sanctum sanctorum of Dwarkadhish Jagat Temple
dedicated to Bhagavan Sri Krishna in Gujarat. The belief is that widespread
damage due to cyclone is averted by hoisting two flags. A flag of 52 yards is
hoisted daily atop the temple.
Aboti Brahmins hoist the two flags simultaneously atop the
temple during a cyclone. The flags are changed daily.
It is believed that the 52-yard flag represents 27 Nakshatras,
12 Rashis, 10 directions, Surya, Chandra and Sri Dwarakadish.
Dwarkadhish temple has five pinnacles and atop each a flag
is hoisted daily.
It must be noted here that the original Dwarka city of Bhagavan Sri Krishna is submerged under the Arabian Sea. When Bhagavan Sri Krishna left earth the sea had swallowed the city of Dwaraka.
