Last weekend, I visited Gondal, a famous town of Saurashtra, Gujarat. The town is located appx. 100 kilometers away from Rajkot.
Although, Gondal is having a status of town with few statistical parameters like population, infrastructure, etc. following are remarks about the town.
- Town planning has been good since the time of Bhagawadsinhji. The roads have more than required – good enough margins and well maintained footh paths in almost every street.
- The town is peaceful.
- Town is rich with good institutes in variety of subjects
- The very well famous, encyclopedia of Gujarati language – Bhagwadgomandal, had been developed by King Bhagwadsinhji. That was not a small project in any sense – collection, quality, authenticity. It is a de facto standard encyclopedia of present time, without any modification
- The Gondal kings were fond of cars, the followers have also preserved cars in well manner. [See my photos of this visit]
Here are the photos of the visit. The photos include antic car collection too!
* Bhagwadgomandal digital downloadable edition has also been launched on 1st May, 2009.
