As citra is a portt of dolphin emulator i want to know whether it support vulkan or not.Because i search and found a latest dolphin custom build with support of vulkan it is the best dolphin build right now and it run very fast with vulkan.

Citra is, in a way, based on Dolphin Emulator, that's true. BUT the similarities are some filesystem access and configuration things. The Android version uses the Dolphin front-end and a JNI glue to use the frontend with compiled Citra source. However, nor the front-end or filesystem access classes are connected to the video core, which has been programmed from scratch using the OpenGL backend.

Short answer, Citra is NOT a port of dolphin emulator (think about it, it can't be, also, I don't think you fully understand what "port" means) and thus Vulkan video backend will NOT be implemented unless someone ambitious in the desktop Citra team decides to take up the challenge.
