Bhuj is famous for its historical importance and has attracted tourists and explorers from far and wide. The city got its name from the Bhujiyo Dungar hill that was believed to have been the house of the great serpent Bhujang. In fact there is a cave here that locals believe was the place where the serpent rested
Though a major earthquake in 2001 rattled the city and caused the destruction of few of its monuments, the ruins still emit the grandeur that they once held. Travellers coming here are held in awe by the majestic monuments and the beautiful architecture that they boast of. Here is a pictorial guide to the monumental city of Bhuj.
