Rajkot, Metropolitan center in Gujarat, India

The city extends across undulating terrain with stony soil, supported by multiple streams that nourish agricultural fields producing cotton and grains.

Founded in 1610 by Thakorji Vibhaji, Rajkot transformed from a princely state capital into a major industrial center after India gained independence.

The Watson Museum preserves regional heritage through collections of silver works, textiles, and artifacts representing Gujarat's traditional craftsmanship.

Rajkot connects to major cities through Western Railway junctions and maintains an airport, facilitating transportation across Gujarat state.

The city manufactures specialized products including diesel engines, water pumps, ceramics, and maintains cotton textile production facilities.
