India Travel Update 
Bhuj, a small town of Kutch district, a walled city of the past, was founded by a local ruler Maharao Hamir in 1510. Then the place was captured by Rao Khengarji I, another confined ruler, and made the place his capital in the year 1549. The spot is now demolished to a large extend and only a few remnants scattered here and there on this barren land. It became a self-governing generous state during the rule of the British in India and also rescued as a part of India after its autonomy in 1947.
Bhuj was the former capital of Kutch and now the headquarters of the same district. According to the affluent history of Bhuj, there once remained the city wall of thirty five feet high and 4 feet thick with towers positioned irregularly was formerly armed with 51 guns. Surmounted by the ramparts of a hill fort, the strategically located fort was provided as the purpose of sighting enemies and alerting defense. Bhuj is also offered with some unbelievable historic heritages.
Three large tanks were carefully festooned the town Bhuj naming Hamirsar, Desalsar and Pragsar. These lakes are now in a close supervision of Indian Air Force and almost in a filled position. No such authentic evidence is there which signifies the existence of Pragsar Lake. Hamirsar was the source of water for Bhuj inhabitants of the ancient past. Desalsar Lake is also remained in a pathetic condition, filled with only buffalo’s wallow and drain water of wash clothes.
