BHUJIA FORT
Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat, India
Overlooking the beautiful town, Bhujia Hill is a prominent natural formation considered to be of immense religious and historical importance. It is often associated with the legendary victory of Bhujanga against Bheria Kumar. It also served as a perfect location for Bhujia Fort that adds to the aesthetic appeal of the splendid Hill and defended the Jadeja Chiefs. The hill requires at least 200 stairs to reach the top. Bhujia Hill Fort, also known as Bhujiya Fort is built on a hill overlooking the town of Bhuj. Bhujia Fort offers a panoramic view of the Bhuj city. The fort gets its name from the temple of snake god Bhujanga. According to history, the Bhujia Fort was built between 1715-1718 C.E. by Jadeja Chief, Rao Godaji. However, the fort was completed by his son, Deshalji-I. The fort has stood against six major battles which were fought in years 1700-1800 A.D. between Rajput rulers of Kutch, the Muslim raiders from Sindh and Mughal rulers of Gujarat. The British colonel William Coir took over the fort in 1819. The fort has been under occupation of Indian Army after India's independence in 1947. The army left the fort in 2001.
