 Ghumli
was the capital of the Jetwas long before they moved to Porbandar.
The place is famous for its Naulakha temple, considered to be the
oldest sun temple in India built around the 8th century, and the
12th century Vikia vav (step well), with numerous flights of steps
and string coursed carvings.
Gope, 50 km northeast
of Porbandar has a 6th century temple with a sanctuary on a platform
and the usual pyramidal shikhara roof. The temple is in a terribly
dilapidated condition but is important, as it is one of the first
to have a roof of this design.
A 30-minute drive from Porbandar takes one to Barda Hills covered
with forests where one can find the Khambala Dam with its intricate,
decorated kiosks.
