  • 1. Junagadh Gate Somnath
    Junagadh pronunciation is the headquarters of Junagadh district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The city is the 7th largest in Gujarat, located at the foot of the Girnar hills, 355 km south west of state capital Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. Literally translated, Junagadh means Old Fort. An alternate etymology gives the name as coming from Yonagadh, literally City of the Yona , referring to the ancient inhabitants of the city under the Indo-Greek Kingdom. It is also known as Sorath, the name of the earlier princely state of Junagadh. After a brief struggle between India and Pakistan, Junagadh joined India on 9 November 1947. It was a part of Saurashtra state and later Bombay state. In 1960, after the Maha Gujarat movement, it became part of newly formed Gujarat state.
