Junagadh District

Gujarat

The best of earth can be seen through the tiniest of cracks. I took this photo from a tiny window in one of the minars and the birds came flying in at that very instant and added drama to the beautiful Tomb. The sultry skies of the monsoon had their share of play in making it perfect. #InsideTravellersShoes

Popular cities in Junagadh District

Junagadh fort and town was established at the foothills of Girnar hill during reign of the Maurya Empire and continued to be used during Gupta period, but it lost its importance when the capital of Saurashtra region was moved from Junagadh to Vallabhi by Maitrakas. Chudasamas settled around Junagadh from 875 CE according to bards when they acquired Vamansthali (Vanthli) from Chavda ruler. Chudasama ruler Graharipu (r. c.940-c.982) cleared the old citadel free from the jungle. From the evidence contained in the Hemchandra's Dvyashraya, it can be concluded that Graharipu laid the foundations of the citadel as it now exists. the legend is told about its rediscovery.
