In Junagadh, Gujarat there was the independent province of Nawab. The kingdom was in the shade and did not contribute much to the main Indian history; still it gave the civilisation one of the greatest architectural marvels of India which is still in the unknown territory of world tourism. The location of the Mahabat Maqbara is very accessible and it has a railway station about five minutes away from Junagadh Station.
