Now I tried Panoramic shot. Haven't tried earlier. I Like the clouds pattern and clicked several angles - one of most beautiful place of earth. Lakhota Palace, Ranmal Lake, Jamnagar, Gujarat.

 

Some Info:

 

The History of Jamnagar states that the city was built in the year 1540, by Jam Rawal, who belonged to one of the most respected Royal dynasties of Gujarat. It is after Jam Rawal, that the city of Jamnagar was renamed to its present name. The previous name for the city was Nawagarh, a name which can be literally translated to mean New City. The Lakhota Palace in Jamnagar in Gujarat in India was built by the Jam dynasty as a royal arsenal, which could come handy in times of war.

 

Description of the Lakhota Palace, Jamnagar

The entirety of the city of Jamnagar is built based on the banks of the Lake Ranmal, which is one of the most picturesque lakes of Gujarat. Constructed by the rulers of Nawangar, this palace is regarded to be one of the most popular Tourist Attractions in Jamnagar. The Lakhota Fort is built around this region, which is also famous as one of the most popular Museums in Jamnagar. It houses artifacts which date back to as early as the 8th century A.D. and one can find artifacts which elaborate on the lives of the people around the region up till the 18th century.

 

Located close to the Lakhota Fort is the Koath Bastion, which is famous for being the arsenal, built by the Royal family of Jamnagar. One of the most interesting areas of the complex is an old well, from which water can be drawn by blowing in to a small hole on the floor.
