The next one on the list of famous places in Gujarat is a famous temple. One of the most sacred of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, Somnath Temple is not just a religious site. Lying as it is on the shores of the rough Arabian Sea, the temple is also a thing of wonder. It has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times, once by Lord Soma in gold, once by Ravana in silver, once by Krishna in wood and once by King Bhimdev in stone. It still stands tall now attracting millions of devotees to come over feel the divine presence.
2. Rann of Kutch:
Rann of Kutch is most probably the most enchanting thing you might ever lay your eyes on. Cradled comfortably between the vast Thar Desert and the great Arabian Sea, Rann of Kutch is a mesmerizing thing of wonderment of sand and salt. Its wide vast expanse of sand gives you an other-worldly experience. During full moon nights, the desert shines as bright as diamonds and brings a benign sense of peace with it. Cultural programs are held here, tents are pitched and the wondrous land set up for visitors from around the world.
3. Ranki Vav, Patan:
It is one of the most intricately constructed stepwells of India. It is situated in the town of Patan, Gujarat. Located on the banks of Saraswati River this stepwell was built as a memorial to an 11th-century AD king Bhimdev I. It is added to the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

Ahmedabad is famous for it urbanesque touch to Dandiya songs.
5. Dwarka
Dwarka is one of the most revered “Char Dham” of Hindu pilgrimages. Mythology or History says this is where Lord Krishna reigned. There has been really controversial evidence for the same. The archeological Survey of India has currently stopped excavation for the same. It also happens to be the very first capital of the state of Gujarat. Perched on the mouth of River Gomti on the Arabian Sea, the old Dwarka has been submerged in water across thousands of years but the land that remains is equally majestic.
The beach running across the temple is a tranquil one. The shallow waters is a great place to catch a glimpse of octopuses, sea turtles, sea urchins, and starfish. A preferred time to visit Dwarka is during the Krishna Janmashtami festival, you will witness the festivity unparalleled.
