❀ A huge multicolored majestic flag fixed on the top of the pillar of the temple is always flying which can be seen from a distance of 10 km.
The flag on the temple of Dwarkadhish is the symbol of the sun and the moon. There is a belief behind this that as long as the sun and the moon remain on this earth, the name of Dwarkadhish will remain. Sun and Moon are considered symbols of Lord Krishna. Hence, a flag symbolizing the sun and the moon is hoisted on the top of the Dwarkadhish temple.
The flag is made of 52 yards of cloth, which is changed 5 times a day – three times in the morning and twice in the evening.
❀ As a culmination of the whole process, the men climbing to hoist the flag throw a coconut from the top of the peak to mark the flag hoisting. Then the broken coconut pieces are distributed as Prasad to the Lord.
❀ The flag change is a huge ceremony. The family sponsoring the flag feeds all the brahmins of Dwarka followed by an elaborate puja. They carry the flag on their heads and bring it to the temple singing and dancing.
❀ The flag is offered to the deity after which a member of the Brahmin community goes up and changes the flag. When the flag is being changed, everyone stops to watch the new flag being raised.
