	Monsoon Ideas
	Famed as the birthplace of the Father of the Nation, Porbandar is a port city in Gujarat. The city is named after the local goddess, ‘Porai’ and finds ample mention in Hindu epics too. Porbandar is home to several historical temples and structures and you must visit it once to visit its several cultural heritages. The place is especially cool during monsoons and the sea breeze is very cool. Carry umbrellas and raincoats at this time.


	Things to see & do
	Kirti Mandir: This is a memorial erected in the memory of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Built by Nanaji Bhai Kalidas, the memorial houses paintings of the Mahatma and his wife. It also has on display a moving photographic and pictorial display of his life and a part in the India's freedom struggle. A library too is housed within, which contains books on the Mahatma Gandhi’s life and philosophies. Huzoor Palace: This palace is a huge structure made in European style. Located at the end of Marine Drive, the palace has a huge complex and overlooks the sea and is extremely tastefully decorated. Darbargadh: This is a fortified palace built by Rana Sartanji and has a carved stone entrance gate and huge wooden doors. Sartanji Choro: This is a three storeyed summer pavilion built by Rana Sartanji. The structure is built in Rajput style with lovely gardens around it. Rana Sartanji used this place as a retreat where he used to sit back and compose poems. Chowpatty: Chowpatty is the name given to the coastline of Porbandar and offers scenic beauty and great picnic spots.


	Gourmet Treats
	Porbandar cuisine is mostly vegetarian and dominated by typical Gujarati dishes. The locals are more fond of snacks and hence dhokla, sev, doodha pak are the most famous items sold out in shopping outlets. Most restaurants in Porbandar are vegetarian too. Adarsh Restaurant is one of the best purely vegetarian restaurants. Hotel Flamingo and Swagat are some good multi-cuisine restaurants in the city. Tasty South Indian fare can be sampled at Kadambari Restaurant.


	Shopping Fiesta
	Porbandar is mainly noted for its fabrics and the city is famous for Bandhani works. Traditional bandhani sarees and dress materials are the best buys with tourists. Besides these, pick up some brass and clay items, silver jewelry, handmade carpets, lacquered furniture, mirror works, mud wall paintings and other decorative items. Porbandar’s special kundan and jadau jewelries are also popular buys.
