Morvi Tourism - Gujarat

Morvi, also known as Morbi is a town in the Rajkot district of Gujarat. It is situated on the Kathiawar peninsula and was once a Princely State ruled by the Jadeja Rajput clan until India's independence in 1947.  The town, a municipality of its district, is also a railroad junction. It lies between the river Machhu and the Arabian Sea, and has been ravaged by floods in the past because of its location.

The splendid planning and infrastructure of this town owes itself to Sir Waghji, who ruled the town between 1879 and 1948. He was responsible for establishing a good road network, railway network and even two small ports  Navlakhi and Vavania. The railway station itself is a work of art with its famous combination of Indian and European architectural elements.

The town of Morvi is known for its exports in cotton and grain. It has also seen industrial growth in clock manufacturing and exports of ceramics and roofing tiles.
