Bhuj

The old walled city of Bhuj is the centre of the famous Kutch textiles

Bhuj is the capital of the Kutch province known for its congregation of textile weavers and designers. The now deserted palace buildings of the Aina Mahal and Prag Mahal, have an eerie beauty unlike any other.

Bhuj is a perfect base for visiting villages in Kutch where the tribal people turn out exquisite hand-loomed woolen and cotton clothes decorated with dye or embroidery.

Things to see and do in Bhuj

Bhuj Sightseeing

The old walled town of Bhuj is enlivened by the dazzling objects d'art of the Aina Mahal Palace. Its walls are studded with tiny mirrors interspersed with miniature Mughal paintings and portraits of English nobility. There is also a vast and confusing collection of Victoriana.

The Kutch museum provides what is possibly the best explanation of the different Kutch tribes through clay mannequins which help in identifying them. There is also a collection of golden sandstone chhatris or royal cenotaphs that even today receive annual homage visits from their descendants.
