Bhavnagar, India
Bhavnagar was founded in 1743 as an important cotton trading post. Bhavsinhji Gohil was the founder and the name of the town was derived from the king's own name.
Bhavnagar offers a glimpse of traditional Gujarati culture; the old town section seems untouched by time with several bazaars and cluttered shops available for browsing. Tourists are an uncommon sight in the town.
Takhteshwar Temple is set on a hill and provides excellent views of Bhavnagar and the Gulf of Cambay. The Barton/ Gandhi Smriti Museum features religious carvings and numerous Gandhi photographs.
