| Lakhpat | 1m01s | 12:28:36.4 |
1. A trip into history. In this ancient port-city, time has been standing still for ages. It is today deserted, desolate, uninhabited, and invokes powerful nostalgia and soulful affection. Among the ruins stand the Gurudwara (holy shrine of the Sikh religion), the 200 year old, gigantic tomb of Ghosh Mohammed Caba, and many other places with ancient stories to tell. (http://www.gujarattourism.com/kutchdtl.html) It is surrounded by a fort with high walls and towers. There is a mausoleum dedicated to a local family whose ancestors were known to have supernatural powers.
