Bhuj

Bhuj has a dramatic setting located rather low, it is in an amphitheater of hills, some of which approach the city within three or four miles and others within ten or twelve miles. The town is dominated by the Bhujia Hill, which rises to a height of 160 meters at one and and is, in itself, a landmark being flat on top and surmounted by the fortification of a hill fort which once served as a kind of outwork defense for Bhuj. In khengarji’s line Maharao shri Lakhapatji came on throne in 1752 A.D. He welcomed foreigners at his court, and his hospitality was always open to travelers from foreign countries.
