Founded
only recently in 1548, Bhuj
is the central town of Kutch.
It was set up when Khengarij
I of the Rao dynasty of Kutch
shifted his capital from the
town of Anjar. Due to its close
proximity to the sea, which
facilitated trade, a lot of
cultural interaction took place.
Even today, the city of Bhuj
presents exciting amalgams of
the Orient and the Occident
especially in terms of architecture. |
