A video is being shared on social media claiming it is the rare visual of the submerged Dwaraka city beneath the Arabian Sea. The video shows a Radhe-Krishna temple beneath the water’s surface. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video showing Radhe-Krishna temple in the submerged Dwaraka city.
Fact: The video was created using 3D technology by an artist named Sri Ram. The video does not show the real visuals of a temple inside the submerged Dwaraka city. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
On reverse image search of the screenshots of the video, a video with similar visuals was found posted by a social media user on Tik Tok. This Tik Tok user described it as a 3D animated video created with the inspiration of Dwaraka City. Many social media pages have published this video with the same description and by crediting the video to an Instagram handle “@artz_by_ram”.
When searched for further sources, we found the video on the Instagram handle Sri Ram (user_id: @artz_by_ram). Sri Ram, an artist and a digital content creator, published the video on 20 March 2023, with the description, “The lost temple… Made in 3d with the inspiration for real city in dwaraka“. From all these pieces of evidence, it can be concluded that the video shared in the post does not show the real visuals of the submerged Dwaraka city.
Earlier, Factly published multiple fact-checks debunking similar fake videos and photos attributed to Dwaraka. They can be seen here, here and here.
To sum it up, a 3-D animated video was shared as the visuals of the Krishna temple in the submerged Dwaraka city.
