Please suggest how I can export and import kibana dashboards including all dependencies like dashboard ad, visualization, index patterns, searches etc in one go. It is not good practice to manually create anything in production like index patterns etc. There should be some easy way around to achieve this. Please help. ---

It sounds to me like you want to head over to the Management -\> Saved Objects screen. This allows you to import / export dashboards and all of their dependencies. ---
