Mandvi is a 1 1/2 hour local bus ride from Bhuj. It was once a major port of the region and still has a four-hundred-year-old ship building industry, which builds small wooden ships called dhow.
Sadhu's off to a convention
Mandvi also contains the summer retreat for Maharao (king) of the Kutch State. Thinks it's just for tourists to visit now.
Tea in the consevatory
What is it with these Maharajah's - they like killing animals and then putting their stuffed bodies in their dining room!
After being photoed with all these women's families, they were happy to return the favour.
Maybe because there weren't many "foreign" tourists, I would often be asked to be in family photos.
