Sightseeing in Bhavnagar

Built in the 1890s on the orders of Bhavnagar’s ruling Gohil family, Takhteshwar Temple stands on a raised platform reached by a short flight of steps, giving it one of the best vantage points over Bhavnagar’s old city. Its simple domed shrine houses a Shiva lingam, and the breezy terrace around it draws both worshippers and evening visitors for the view toward the coastline. Takhteshwar Temple sits at an elevation of 42 m and is typically explored in about 30-60 minutes. The most favourable months to visit are January, December, November, and February, when conditions are best suited for sightseeing. Other notable highlights include sunset view of Gulf of Khambhat from terrace, built in 1893 by local philanthropist Sheth Takhtasinhji, and white marble Shiva lingam in the sanctum. It falls within Gujarat, India.

White marble temple built on hill, gives Aerial View of City. Crafting work on marble stone is pretty good.

It is a modern construction, but don't miss visiting it.
