    Uparkot Fort in Junagadh, Gujarat – places to visit and things to see within its walls

    November 21, 2020 /

    Visiting the Uparkot Fort is a  must when in Junagadh, Gujarat. If the city didn’t have the majestic Mahabat Maqbara mausoleum, I would say the Uparkot Fort is a centerpiece of Junagadh, but my loyalty is forever with the former. Even so, the Uparkot fort is  definitely a worthy sight that shouldn’t be underestimated, and I would highly recommend to include it into your Junagadh itinerary if you happen … Read the rest

    Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery: my brief visit

    August 26, 2020 /

    Visiting a city that claims to be the cultural capital of a state without stepping into its most celebrated museum would be a crime! Alright, that’s a bit of an overstatement, so let’s put it differently – visiting a city that claims to be the cultural capital of a state without stepping into its most celebrated museum would be extremely uninsightful, to say the least. That’s why I made sure … Read the rest

    One day in Bhuj, Gujarat – a quick guide to things to do

    February 27, 2020 /

    Thinking about spending one day in Bhuj? Rest assured, you won’t regret it!  As I’ve mentioned in one of my previous posts, the town of Bhuj in  Gujarat is often used as a stopover to the Great Rann of Kutch. However, I’ve found the town extremely rewarding in terms of experiences and the number of architectural marvels – and let’s face it, exploring different forms of beautiful Indian architecture is … Read the rest

    Why do I regret climbing the damaged tower of the Prag Mahal?

    February 21, 2020 /

    I actually climbed this tower of Prag Mahal in Bhuj – just couldn’t resist the temptation of seeing the view. I love looking at cityscapes from above, like I’ve seen Mumbai from the roof of Chhatrapati Shivaji Ternmus (formerly known as Victoria Terminus), Hyderabad from the Golconda fort, Jodhpur from Mehrangarh hill and so many more.But when I look at these cracks in the walls of the tower … Read the rest

    Stunning palaces in India you won’t regret visiting

    Visiting India? Make sure to include at least one of these palaces into your itinerary. Without seeing palaces in India, your journey is bound to be incomplete. It’s no secret that India is studded with architectural gems of every possible kind – ancient temples and churches, magnificent mosques, imposing forts and opulent havelis. Besides this, the country is a treasure trove of stunning palaces built by kings and emperors … Read the rest

    The ancient Ramkund stepwell in Bhuj, Gujarat

    After visiting the city of Bhuj I’ve got an impression that it’s generally undervalued by the foreign and Indian tourists alike. The place is often considered just a stopover en route to the Rann of Kutch and is hardly recognized as a notable destination on its own. However, my experience in Bhuj was extremely satisfying as the city had a fair share of sights to offer, and perhaps a great … Read the rest

    If a city has at least one building like the Prag Mahal, it automatically wins my heart. If the city of Bhuj has nothing else to offer but the Prag Mahal, I would have still considered it worth visiting. Apart from pure aesthetic pleasure, I’ve noticed that beautiful architecture has a very soothing effect on me, and it makes me wonder whether there is such a thing as architecture therapy … Read the rest

    The Royal Cenotaphs (Chhatris) of Bhuj

    The city of Bhuj was peaceful, tranquil and slow paced, and when I think of it now, it created a rather interesting contrast with overwhelming and mega touristic Jaipur I headed for the next day. One of the most secluded and architecturally rewarding places  I’ve visited in Bhuj was a complex of highly ornate royal memorials. The umbrella-shaped cenotaphs are widely known as chhatris throughout India, and they are commonly … Read the rest

To be completely transparent, my primary reason for visiting Junagadh was to see the architectural wonder … Read the rest
