Talk:Jamnagar

Untitled
Hello I am Rohan from Jamnagar. As a citizen of Jamnagar i love to tell share something about Jamnagar. I found no other city in competition of Jamnagar any where in the world.(though it could be too much but that's my opinion!) Specially the Lake Lakhota gives feeling of Heavenly atmosphere. Very few city would be such peacefull as Jamnagar. Though many roads are not good in codition. I take it positive and hope that they also will be developed well by local authorities. The asiatic solarium, bala hunuman tample, "Gaurav Path", Ranjit Sagar, Aradhana Dham are very good place to visit. City has great future and I love My city. thank u for reading it.

Hi I am from UK and have been to your city twice. Good place Good people. All the best!Johnhardcastle 08:45, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

A city which is home to only marine sanctuary of India. A city which is famous destination for traveling birds and of course bird wathcers! with bird sanctuary near Khijadiya.

City is home to first Aayurved University (Dhanvantri Mandir) and asia's only solarium.

The famous pratapvilas palace and vibhavilas palace are the symbol of its princely heritage.

City which known as "choti-kashi" due to many ancient and famous tamples in and around the city. Aradhana dham, Siddhnath Mahadev, Jain temples, balahanuman(world record for continuous chanting for Ramdhun!)

And the city's heart lake lakhota. how can we miss that? At where lakhota museum, Bhujio Kotha is situated.

There are few other places near by the city to visit.., Ranjit Sagar, Sasoi dam, Sapda Ganesh Temple, Bholeshvar Mahadev, Narara & pirotan Islands, Kotada bavisi - Jamjodhpur, Barda Hills & Killeshvar. The famous dwarkadhish temple is also at few hours distant form city.

Jamnagar has all the characteristic which a good city should have: It has all means of transport facility available: Railway transport which is connected to other mega cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi and the near by cities Rajkot, porbandar, okha, surendranagar. Has daily trains for Ahmedabad, Mumbai. City is also well connected throw roads to all other towns and cities. And has state and private transport operator available on houly basis.

City has all season port too.

Such as Holi, Ram-navmi, Eid, Sanvatsari, Deepavali, Janamastami-3 day fair and the famous gujarati festival - Navratri.

And yes it is one of the most peaceful place in this part of the world.

Although city has many infrastructure and administrative weakness. But all the citizens, administration and political leader have jolted themselve to change scenario.

Critics may argue that I said too much about the city. They are invited to join the Jam revolution!

With the rise of 1st Sun of 21st century, city has joined the race for moving towards mega city - NO - moving towords becoming a Dream City - a shining city - a proud city! and since than has not turned back.

As a citizen of Jamnagar I must thank city for providing a memorable past, a joyfull and vibrant present and dream future.

Improvement needed
This article needs lots of improvements. I am not from Jamnagar so cannot add anything of importance but someone familiar should. What is "Hindi Cinema is the perfect entertainment among local people."? So what is imperfect entertaiment? Playing Cricket?

The whole history section is very confusing. Some maps will also help.

Add climate information similar to Bangalore or Ahmedabad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.36.234.233 (talk) 08:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Photographs for the article on Jamnagar
I have up loaded two photographs of Bhujiyo Kotho before & after the earthquake of 2001, to be included in the article. Few more historic photographs whose "copy-right" permission are unknown to me, are also available with me. If any one is interested to link it to the existing article. Can put confirmation for the same. As personnally, I do not know how to link the photographs to the article and also due to unaware/unable to be obtain the " Copy-right" permission; from the unknown photographer. I personally feel that the conditions of Copy-Right permissions should waived in certain cases, specially, in the interest of the General purpose articles.

Reliance headquarters
The headquarters of Reliance Industries is, as expected, located in Mumbai and not in Jamnagar. I'm changing this in the article. Wer902 (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
