NH 48 via Vadodara → Ahmedabad bypass → NH 8E → Bhavnagar GujaratHistory & Significance
Bhavnagar was founded in 1724 by Bhavsinhji Gohil, who moved the capital from nearby Sihor to this strategically located coastal site. The city became one of the most progressive princely states under Maharaja Takhtsinhji, who introduced railways, hospitals, and modern education in the 19th century. After independence, Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji was among the first rulers to merge his princely state with the Indian Union in 1948, setting an example for other states to follow.
