About Bharuch City
Ancient Port City of Gujarat
Bharuch is a district in the southern Gujarat peninsula, on the west coast of India. It has a similar size and population to Greater Boston. It is located at the mouth of the Narmada River, which connects it to the inland regions of India. Bharuch was an ancient and important port city, trading with various civilizations in the West, such as Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome. It was part of the Spice and Silk routes, and a hub for land-sea commerce. Bharuch’s significance declined with the emergence of deep-sea navigation, as it was not a convenient location for ships that could sail across the oceans.
