Bhujiyo Kotho
ભુજીયો કોઠો
A five-storey round defensive tower on the shore of Lakhota Lake, once an armoury for the princely state. Damaged in the 2001 earthquake, it was still under repair.
Bhujiyo Kotho is part of the 19th-century Lakhota fortification system and stands on the shore of Lakhota Lake. It is a five-storey round tower of brick and stone, originally used for lookout and storing ammunition. From the top floor you can overlook the city, and its design is quite rare in Gujarat. It was damaged in the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, and it has been under long-term restoration, so most of the time you can only admire the exterior and take photos from the lakeside path. It is a few minutes' walk from Lakhota Palace and the Bala Hanuman Temple, so it is easy to visit them together.
