Bandhani Sarees, mirror-work, patch work, bead work and silk embroidery are everywhere but in the town of Rajkot – where they do real nice.
And where the crafts are good and famous, the little town attractions are not far behind. Before the stroll takes us farther, the Kaba Gandhino Delo, also known as Mahatma Gandhi's Home, is a first, must-stop.
Dams and dikes may not be that fascinating but not until we drive some eight kilometers away from the town proper where massive Aji Dam is nothing but breathtaking.
An hour drive beckons the dusty but bustling village of Wankaner. The village is a favorite excursion site and home to the striking Wankaner Palace, one of the Raf palaces that has been transformed into a heritage hotel. |
