Madh or Mata-no-Madh is about 80 kilometers away from Bhuj and 43 kilometers away from Lakhpat. It is situated in the north-west of Bhuj and in the south-east of Lakhpat. Madh is bordered by hills on both banks of a small stream. Three of the coals-Gypsum, Bauxite and Lignite were found here and they are still available in Madh. A division of some local religious importance, the Kapdis have their headquarters here in Madh. The village Mata-no-Madh has a temple of Ashapura Mata, the family goddess of the Raos of Kutch. It is said that this temple was built in the beginning of the 14th century by two Karad Vanias, Ajo and Anagor, ministers of the father of Lakha Fulani. This temple of Ashapura Mata was completely destroyed by the earthquake of 1819. It was rebuilt in 1823 by Brahmakshatriya Sundarji Shivji and Vallabhaji. This temple is 58 feet long, 32 feet wide and 52 feet high. The temple has a large sized brass-bell weighing about 400 kg. It is also said that this temple was set up by Mir Gulamsha Kalora of Sind. In 1762 A.D., when his army attacked this temple, his soldiers became blind by the curse of the goddess Ashapura. Then, Gulamsha took a swear to set up a huge bell in the temple. Finally, his soldiers regained their sight and Gulamsha kept his words.

Koteshwar is a tourist-place that is situated in the Kori Creek of the Arabian Sea on the western end of Kutch just opposite to Karachi-Pakistan. It is about 165 kms away from Bhuj and 2 kms from Narayan Sarovar. As stated in a legend, when Lord Shiva was delighted with the worship and forfeit of Ravan, he gave him a Ling-full of religious power. Lest Ravan should become endless as a result of this advantage, all the Gods united together and conspired to gain the Ling from Ravan through dishonesty and installed it as Kotilengeshwar. Then, the village came to be known as Koteshwar. It is invented to be Hieu-en-Tsiang’s “Kie-tsi-fa-lo on the western border of the country close to the river Indus and to the great ocean of Kutch.” According to Hieu-en-Tsiang, Koteshwar port is five miles in boundary near the mouth of the river Indus. There were 80 monasteries with about 5000 monks in them. In the middle of the completion were thirteen temples of which Mahesh Mandir was full of good monument. Koteshwar shows us a few signs of its former greatness. It stands as amazing on the sea-shore, rising courageously from the sea that washes its western parts and temples are enclosed by prepared walls, the gate approached by three flights of steps.

Narayan Sarovar is also called ‘Narayansar’ and it is a tourist place about 2 kms away from Koteshwar and about 163 kms away from Bhuj. Narayan Sarovar is situated on the coastal highway. Narayan Sarovar and Bhuj connect with each other by S. T. bus services. The main attraction of Narayan Sarovar is its temples which are surrounded by a wall. Narayan Sarovar is one of the main four lakes in India (Man Sarovar, Pampa Sarovar, Bindu Sarovar) described in Shrimad Bhagwat. This approving with the story of the lake found by Alexander and perhaps lasting till the change of the route of the river Indus was in part become recognized by the earthquake of 1819. There is a temple of Adinarayan in the village of Narayan Sarovar nearby the lake.

Shri Swaminarayan Temple is one of the beautiful tourist attractions in Bhuj. This temple belongs to the oldest of three divisions of the Hindu culture that the Hindus call the ‘God Supreme’. In 1781, a 21 years old young man became a spiritual Guru reproving the cast system and surrounding the poor and needy people. He was born in Chhapaiya in Uttar Pradesh. He wrote the text Vachanamritam. His sayings were collected in an advanced volume named Shikshapatri. He settled at Gadhada near Sarangpur in Gujarat. He was more supporter of Gujarat than any other state. He taught chastity, scarcity, freedom from addiction, knowledge of the Vedas and a lifetime of 49 years. He inspired the building of six temples and began many educational centres planned to support Hinduism through a chain of command of progressive Gurus, each appointed by his precursor. Acharya Tejendraprasad is the present head of the Kalupur Swaminarayan Gadi at Bhuj and Acharya Ajendraprasad is the head of the Vadtal Swaminarayan Temple Gadi. The third one is the largest and most powerful monument called Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Faith whose current Guru is Pramukh Swami Maharaj. The Swaminarayan Temple of Bhuj is on two levels downstairs devotees level to the ground themselves, pray and worship before brightly-lit locked and jeweled shrines. There are fine and beautiful paintings in the temple. An inner courtyard gives way to an upper area where Sadhus and saints live, teach, study and meet the realistic.

The Aina Mahal palace, or “Hall of Mirrors” was built during the flamboyant rule of Lakhpatji in the middle of the 18th century. Master craftsman Ramsinh Malam, who trained as an artisan for 17 years in Europe, felt unappreciated by lesser rulers in the area, so he went to the royal court at Bhuj and appealed to the king for work, who commissioned this palace. Malam designed it in a mixed Indo-European style and set about creating the materials for the palace locally. He established a glass factory at Mandvi, forged cannons in an iron foundry and manufactured china tiles in a factory in Bhuj. It seems Gandhiji's ideal of swadeshi had an early proponent in Ramsinh Malam. He personally crafted the fountains, mirrors and glasswork, as well as many other wonders of artisanship—a pendulum clock in sync with the Hindu calendar, doors inlaid with gold and ivory... come visit to find out the rest. The Aina Mahal is at the northeast corner of Hamirsar lake, easily walkable from most of Bhuj. Anyone along the way will give you directions. Be sure to explore the rest of the compound outside the palace, with its beautiful carved doorways, elaborate window boxes and balconies. Most of the compound is in ruins, some brought down as recently as the 2001 earthquake. Poke around and explore unexpected places; don't settle for just walking into the palace museum with a ready-made experience.
