Bhuj, Gujarat, India
Bhujia Hill, a sentinel overlooking Bhuj, is a testament to its history. Named after the serpent deity Bhujang, the hill was fortified by the Jadeja rulers in the 18th century. Once a strategic defence post, it later served as an Indian Army base until the 2001 earthquake required relocation. Today, the partially ruined fort, reclaimed by nature, offers visitors a chance to ascend its steps, trace its ancient walls, and savour panoramic views of the city below.
Textiles have long been a cornerstone of Kutchi culture, interwoven into rituals, social status, and festive celebrations. This deep-rooted connection dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization, where farmers, herders, dyers, weavers, potters, and leather workers formed a symbiotic relationship. Through the efforts of NGOs, this ancient heritage has found renewed significance and pride in contemporary society.
If there’s one iconic feature of our ancient landscape, it’s the shimmering white salt of the Great Rann of Kutch. Stretching from the Arabian Sea to its 'Little' counterpart, this inhospitable region separates us from Pakistan. The best views are from Dhordo and Kalo Dungar, Kutch's highest peak, while Khadir Island offers a remote experience to immerse in our unique terrain.
