Geography & terrain

Jamnagar lies on the Kathiawar's north-west in Gujarat, 90 km from Rajkot and 300 km from Ahmedabad — the lake city of the Jadeja rulers, its Ranmal lake, the Lakhota fort and the old town set near the Gulf of Kutch's shore.

History & culture

The city's story runs with the Jadeja dynasty of the region — the 1540s founding by Jam Rawal, with the old town's walls and the Lakhota palace on the lake's island; the city's history of the princely state and the Maharaja's industrial dreams, with the modern refinery and the bird island of the Pirotan, gives Jamnagar its lakes-palace character.
