Brief About Jamnagar District
Jamnagar is a city in the western Indian state
of Gujarat, and serves as the capital of the Jamnagar district.
Its population in 1991 was roughly 326,000 people. The city was
built up substantially by Maharaja Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji in the
1920s, when the district was known as Nawangar. The district lies
just to the south of the Gulf of Kutch. Most residents of Jamnagar
are Gujarati and speak the Gujarati language. A small percentage
speak the Kachchi language, which is written in the Gujarati script
but is not mutually intelligible with Gujarati. Jamnagar has recently
shot to prominence as Reliance Industries has established the world's
largest refinery there.
The only marine sanctuary of India is near Jamnagar - on the coral
reef island of Pirotan. Jamnagar is well-known for its four marble
Jain temples: Vardhman Shah's Temple, Raisi Shah's Temple, Sheth's
Temple, and Vasupujya Swami's Temple. All were built between 1574
and 1622.
