Porbandar district, Coastal administrative district in Gujarat, India
The Porbandar district stretches across 2,316 square kilometers along the Arabian Sea, encompassing three administrative divisions: Porbandar-Chhaya, Ranavav, and Kutiyana.
The region holds deep historical connections to Indian independence as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, while ancient texts reference it as the hometown of Krishna's friend Sudama.
The district maintains Gujarat traditions through local festivals, temples, and a population that primarily speaks Gujarati and follows Hindu religious practices.
The district connects to major cities through its airport, railway station, and multiple highways, while supporting industries in fishing, salt production, and agriculture.
Archaeological excavations near Porbandar revealed Late Harappan settlements from 1600-1400 BCE, indicating early maritime activities in this coastal region.
