Narayan Sarovar
નારાયણ સરોવર
One of the five sacred lakes of Hinduism. The temples around it are the most important pilgrimage site in western Kutch and are often visited together with the border fort.
Narayan Sarovar is one of the five holiest lakes in Hinduism, and legend says Vishnu once appeared here. Several temples dedicated to Vishnu and Lakshmi stand around the lake, and pilgrims flock here during the Kartik full moon in November. Nearby is the Narayan Sarovar Wildlife Sanctuary, where Indian gazelles can be seen. It is about 150 km from Bhuj. It is usually combined with Koteshwar Temple and Lakhpat Fort as a day trip. The journey is long, so set out early.
