                                                  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. |
