A lost port: Mandvi
Long ago, it was a famous port when people voyaged on the seas now become a tranquil place. A small municipality city on the bank of Rukmavati river of Kutch district of Gujarat, a state of India. Bhuj is the nearest large city of Mandvi and it was founded by Khenergi, the king of Kutch in 1574. It is a historical city as the name Mandvi originates from the name of wife of Bharat of Hindu epic Ramayana . The view of city in map. The city is surrounded by some small villages and distance of those within 20 sq km. It will take 2 days to visit the villages and watch the villagers activities. Gundialy a Pottery Village where approximately 200 peoples are living and they are the experts in making of terracotta, earthen pots of different shapes and sizes , water bottles, kinda show pieces and many more. It was a déjà vu to me when I was roving the village as in my childhood I had seen this pottery making in my village. The village is 10 km off
