The Junagarh Fort is situated in Gujarat. It has rock edicts, set up by Ashoka, the Great Indian emperor, dating back 2200 years. The fort is girdled by a wall, which is over 20 m and is virtually inaccessible. The fort is around 1200 years old and was built by king Ugrasen. The fort bore witness to the 12-year long war between Sidharaj Jaisingh, the king of Gujarat, and Rakhengar, the king of Junagadh, over queen Ranakdevi. It is visited all year round by a large number of tourists.

Khushboo Gujarat ki begins to waft JUNAGADH: Reclining on a beach chair in full view of the serene and laid-back' view of the sea on Mandvi beach, the country's best known superstar tells you to "breathe in a bit of Gujarat. From scenes of a camp fire in the stark and pristine' Gir forest to praising the fragrance of faith' at Somnath Temple, Amitabh Bachchan takes the audience through a tour of Kutch, Gir and Somnath in the first set of 60-second films titled, Khushboo Gujarat ki' released by the state tourism department on Thursday. The state information department gave out the CDs showing Bachchan as the brand ambassador of the state, in both English and Hindi languages, promoting Gujarat as a major tourist destination. Bachchan dons different avatars in the video, from a cowboy attire in the jungles of Gir shooting lions with his camera through a devotee in Somnath to the closing shot of Bachchan shouting "Aei bhai" in a traditional Kutchi kediyu.

At the Somnath temple where sea waves hit its walls, Bachchan with folded hands pays obeisance to Lord Shiva and talks about the mythical significance of the temple and the importance of the temple which stood tall against foreign invasions.
