Hindu and Jain pilgrimage sites are scattered throughout the region, including Modhera's stunning 11th-century Sun Temple and the legend-filled Dwarkadish Temple. Located just outside Palitana is Shatrunjaya, which is home to over 900 temples made of marble.
Gujarat is also famous for its textile heritage, with age-old weaving techniques still alive today. The Indus Valley civilization discovered at Lothal is also historically important, as is the Jain Temple complex at Palitana. The Little Rann of Kutch is home to the Wild Ass, and Gir National Park is the only place you can find the Asiatic Lion.
