  • The Dvaravati Sila is a type of Sila or coral stone obtained from the (Gomti River) in Dvaraka. Dvaraka is located in the Jamnagar District of Gujarat at the mouth of the Gomati River as it debouches into the Gulf of Kutch. The city lies in the westernmost part of India.

Thus, the Sila or the stone obtained at the mouth of the Gomati river is called the Dvaravati Sila and is used in worship. Dvaraka Silas are coral with chakra (wheel) markings and the chakra-mark is the most distinguishing feature of these stones, and hence they are called ‘chakrankita-sila’. of God is by a symbol rather than an image. Indian art overwhelmingly prefers the iconic image, but some aniconism does occur in folk worship, in early Hinduism in the form of Vishnu's Saligrama Sila (murthi) (fossil stone), Dvaravati Sila (coral stone), (stone from the Govardhan hill), etc. They have solar significance, and their use in worship is very common among all sects of Vaishnavites of Hindu religion.
