Appearance of Dhwajaji of Dwarkadhish is unique. It has got It’s own characteristic. This appearance classified into three kinds:

(1) Aadhi Bhoutik:

Aadhi means place and Bhautik means Panch tatva woven cloth of dhwaja. 52 yards of cloth is being used for dhwaja and fifty-two nos. of small flags are being joined around border of fifty-two yards of dhwaja in which each yard ties in own independent existence & identity. Each yard indicates entrance of Dwarka of Krishna era and it also symbolises flags on the residence of fifty-two officers of Dwarka.

All these fifty-two yards combine to single dhwaja. These yards also symbolise fifty entrances as well as Swarg Dwar & Moksha Dwar of Dwarkadhish palace. Thus dhwaja of Dwarkadhish is combining Aadhi Bhoutik swaroop of entrances & residence of yadav officers.

Just as tricolor Ashok Chakra national flag of India explain divine nature of flag like wise fifty-two yards. Dhwajaji of Dwarkadhish indicates it’s divine nature. When each yard of cloth. But when it is tailored to dhwaja it incarnate divine nature and it becomes abode of Dwarkadhish swaroop till this divine in canted dhwaja is not hosted, god Dwarkadhish resides at the residence of its devotee and makes it’s residence & it is family members auspicious.

Why is it 52 Yard Long?

Devotees of dwarka, after taking bath in to gomti ganga, strides chhapanpi sidi, ented into swarg dwar & take darshans of Dwarkadhish & look at tomb & dhwajaji & engross into deep thinking & experience immense sense of exclamatory questions.

Sea submerged dwarika but it could not submerge residence of shreeji. This residence it presents sherrji mandir. A present place of dwarika depicts history of dwarika of shri krishna era. Measurement of dhwajaji also depicts historical meaning to present generation. Generally everyone knows that measurement of dhwaja describing place of one individual is one yard. Then why length of dhwajaji of shriji is 52 yards?

In the dwarika of krishna era administration was run by 56 koti yadavs. Here koti do not mean crores but indicates fifty-six divisions of administration. Out of fifty six administrators’ balram, shri krishna, pradhumna & anirudhji are incar nation of god. Which is also known as chatur vyuha. Devotee to day also pray this chaturvyuha in their individual temples and today also dhwaja is flurrying over their temple. This chaturvyuh is considered as donor of purushartha, dharma, aarth, kama & Moksha of human life. When these four are deducted from fifty six-koti balance fifty-two koti indicates residence of yadav administrators of fifty-two divisions. Which were present in dwarika of krishna era but to day they are not in existance but fifty two yards shriji dhwaja is nothing but remem brance & combine symbol of fifty two dhwaja of different yadav koti tailored together & named as shriji dhwaja. Climbing of fifty-six steps for darjhaba of shriji swaroop reminds us about existence of fifty-six koti. Which reminds us that glimpse of dwarkadhish is not easy devotee has to pass through these fifty-six administrators first to qualify them for darshana.

Darshana done after qualifications devotee feel himself proud & shri dwarkadhish also looking after his welfare. Symbol of sun & moon depicted in bhriji dhwaja indicates individual incarnation of shriji. Administration work of dwarka was entrusted to group of is yadavs each from different sect of yadavas wise bhoj, vrishni, andhak & atwah, dasharha. Dhwaja indicating symbol of their work of administration was flurrying on their residence. Lord Krishna himself was closely inspecting it from his palace. These fifty two Administrators were to look, after defense, education, Rinnai, welfare, entertainment, religion etc. just to giue us an idea of the then dwarika which is not accessible to us, measurement of dhwaja has been kept 52 yards. Additionally devotee feel themselves satisfied by glimpse of chaturvyuh swarup of Balram Krishna, Pradumna, Annirudhji depicted as sun & moon in dhwajaji & considered themselves lucky for their desire to onflur 52 yards dhwajaji & after glimpse of their flurrying dhwaja of temple.

Additionally it is stated in hari vansh that 50 doors were arranged for entrance & exits into dwarka & on each door symbolic dhwaja be used to unflur. besides these 50 doors. There were two extra doors for entrance & exit into personal abode of shriji bhagvan which were named as swarga dwar & moksha dwar. Which are worth looking even present day also. Thus combination of 52 dhwaja is dhwajai of shriji.
