Bhavnagar DistrictA chapter of living history.
Founded in 1723 by Bhavsinhji Gohil, Bhavnagar was once the capital of a princely state that merged with the Indian Union in February 1948. Today, 190 km from Gandhinagar and a few miles west of the Gulf of Khambhat, it thrives as a hub of diamond polishing, plastics, shipbreaking — and of course, the world's most beloved ganthiya and jalebi.
