Bhavnagar, Port city in Gujarat, India
The coastal settlement spreads across flat terrain at 24 meters elevation, with the Gulf of Khambhat providing maritime access for regional trade operations.
Bhavsinhji Gohil established this settlement in 1723 after relocating from Sihor, selecting the location for its natural harbor and defense advantages.
The Takhteshwar Temple, constructed in 1893, stands as a center for Hindu worship, featuring traditional Indian architectural elements and offering views of the surrounding area.
The Bhavnagar Airport connects passengers to Mumbai, while the railway terminus and extensive bus network facilitate ground transportation throughout Gujarat.
The district contains Blackbuck National Park in Velavadar, the sole tropical grassland designated as a national park across India.
