SUMMARY: I salute Gomatee River, who is the wife of Sea, who eradicates the three obstacles, including obsession with philosophy, whose water is mixed with the dust/nectar emanating from the lotus-like feet of Lord Sri Krishna.    

Name of this river “Gomatee”, according to commentators, is a conjunction of Go + Matee, where “GO” means water and “Matee” is an adjective in praise of the water. It is said Lord Krishna had visited the place and therefore the dust from his lotus-like feet was mixed in the river water.

SUMMARY: Passionately embraced by the foam of the giant waves of the foam-bleached white sea, this Gomati River will always be enjoying the pleasantly hot hug of her lover.

In Dwaraka City, the sea appears in two sections; one section is in the eastern side and the other is in the southern side and these sections are known as Gomati River.
