Founded as a port in 1743, Bhavnagar is still an important trading post for the cotton goods manufactured in Gujarat. The Bhavnagar lock gate keeps ships afloat in the city’s port at low tide. On the surface, Bhavnagar isn’t the most interesting place to visit and few travellers get here. It does, however, have a beautiful old bazaar area with overhanging wooden balconies, thousands of little shops, lots of local colour and not a tourist in sight.

Takhteshwar Temple, this temple sits on the highest hillock in Bhavnagar. The views over the city and out into the Gulf of Cambay are excellent.
