Geography & terrain

Koteshwar lies in the Kutch district of Gujarat on the coast, 130 km from Bhuj and 10 km from the Narayan Sarovar — the seaside temple town of the region, its Shiva temple, the sea shore and the border watchtower set on the Gulf of Kutch's edge.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the region's sacred-seas link — the Koteshwar temple of the Shiva worship on the state's western tip, with the town's modern role as the border stop of the Kutch circuit and the watchtower of the coast; the town's history of the seafaring trade and the shrine's legend of the crossing, gives Koteshwar its seaside-temple character.
