Kutch Mahotsav serves as the guided tour of the Kutch
region of Gujarat. It is organized by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat
and lasts for six day. This tour takes you around the venerated places
in Kutch. It provides an opportunity to experience the magic of the
place and to explore its beauty, nostalgia, ethos, traditions, culture
and spirit. Kutch Mahotsav is usually organized in the months of
February and March, each year. The Kutch peninsula of India has a lot to
offer to the tourists, who come here.
From sandy beaches to ancient fortresses, from plush green landscapes
to earthy deserts, Kutch is the perfect place to unwind, away from the
hustle bustle of daily life. The tour takes you to a number of exotic
locations situated in the heart of Kutch Peninsula, like Bhuj, a major
city that acts as the center of all activity during the Mahotsav. Other
places include Mata no Madh, a 1200 year old temple dedicated to Mother
Godess and Lakhpat, a banished port that reminds of the days of the
yore, when it was the hub of Gujarat's sea trade.
The Kutch Mahotsav also takes you to a number of religious places. The
major Hindu pilgrimage sites are Narayan Sarovar, Koteshwar and
Bhadreshwar. Apart from this, the enthralling experience is enriched by
the visit to Anjar, the beaches of Mandvi, Dhola Vira's archaeological
ruins and the rural fair at Dhrang. The Mahotsav is a life time
experience, as it unleashes the various colorful aspects of Kutch. Don't
forget to savor the local delicacies, the taste of which you will not
forget in a long time to come.
You will be awe struck when you explore the lifestyle and culture of 18
different tribes of the Kutch peninsula. The artistic and skilled
craftsmanship of the local tribes is a marvel to cherish. Not only this,
the Mahotsav also presents a glimpse of its cultural heritage through
the various folk dance and music performances. The soul stirring Bhajans
and Kirtans are a feast for the ears. Bhuj is well connected to all the
major cities of the state by varied means of transport, making it easily
accessible for the tourists.
