Hamirsar Lake
હમીરસર તળાવ
An artificial lake about 450 years old in central Bhuj, with a lakeside path linking the museum, palace and temples.
Hamirsar Lake was built by Kutch’s rulers in the 16th century. It collected rainwater from the surrounding hills through channels and was once Bhuj’s main water source. There is a garden on an island in the lake. A lakeside path links the Kutch Museum, the palace area and the Swaminarayan Temple, and locals take evening strolls here to cool off. After the monsoon, when the lake fills, locals hold celebrations. The scenery is fairly ordinary, but the lake makes a good connecting point for sightseeing in town.
