Porbandar — Sudama Temple & Kirti Mandir
By Experience My India Team
Porbandar, on the road between Dwarka and Somnath, is the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and home to Kirti Mandir, a memorial beside his ancestral house, and the Sudama Temple. It fits neatly as a stop mid-circuit without extra driving.
What to see
Kirti Mandir is the memorial adjoining the house where Mahatma Gandhi was born, with a small museum and the multi-storeyed ancestral home nearby. The Sudama Temple, dedicated to Krishna's devoted friend Sudama, is one of the few temples devoted to him and draws pilgrims on the Krishna circuit.
Because Porbandar sits on the coastal road between Dwarka and Somnath, it slots in as a natural half-day stop. Confirm current opening hours before you arrive.
