Oct 18, 2026

Sudarshan Setu has boosted pilgrimage and tourism in Gujarat by improving connectivity between Okha and Bet Dwarka. Operational since 2024, the bridge has made travel easier for pilgrims and tourists who earlier depended on ferry services. Improved accessibility has benefited hotels, restaurants, taxi operators and auto-rickshaw drivers. Local businesses report increased tourist footfall and expanding commercial opportunities. The development has also opened new avenues for young people in photography, travel content creation and local guiding services. With more visitors arriving, the bridge is helping strengthen the local economy, support livelihoods and encourage employment within the community. Sudarshan Setu has emerged as an important link connecting religious tourism with regional development.
