Bhujia Fort
Bhujia Fort, located on Bhujia Hill overlooking Bhuj city in Kachchh (Kutch), Gujarat, was built in the early 18th century by Jadeja Rajput rulers, specifically initiated by Rao Godji I and completed under his son Deshalji I.
The fort served as a defensive outpost to protect the city and witnessed six major battles between the Rajput rulers of Kutch and invading forces from Sindh and the Mughal rulers of Gujarat during the 1700-1800s. Named after the local snake god Bhujanga whose temple sits atop the hill, the fort is accessed by climbing about 200 steps and offers panoramic views of Bhuj city, especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset.
The British took control of the fort in 1819, and it remained under Indian Army occupation until 2001. Despite some damage from time and earthquakes, Bhujia Fort remains a historic symbol of Kutch’s royal heritage and military past, making it a significant cultural and tourist attraction.
