Recommendations of DHDR 69 7 Chapter-1 District profile Introduction:- Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi is situated at the end of Saurashtra (Gujarat State) and is a picturesque seaport on the Arabian Sea. To commemorate the birth of Gandhiji a 79 ft high imposing building has been built in the lane where Bapu (as Gandhiji is known) was born in 1869. The prime attraction is the KirtiMandir. It is a three storied ancestral house of Gandhiji where in the exact place where Putlibai, Gandhiji’s mother, had given birth to Gandhi, is marked with a ‘swastik’. A narrow wooden staircase leads the visitor to the upper story, in particular Gandhiji’s reading room. Behind KirtiMandir is NaviKhadi, where Kasturba,Gandhiji’swife was born.The new building adjoining KirtiMandir, houses a Gandhian Library, a prayer hall, a nursery and a steeple decorated with episodes from Gandhiji’s life. The name Porbandar itself conjures a picture of massive port, a city connected with the two names – Sudama, the childhood friend of Lord Krishna and Mahatma Gandhi, 8 the father of Nation. This impressive city was first called as Sudamapuri with Sanskrit name of PAURVELAKUL. The Port City dates back to AD 1045 and records state that the cith was founded on Shravan Poornima (RakshaBandhan). Till to date the Kharvas (Fishermen Community) first offer their prayers to their reigning deity, Paurva Mataji (The Port Goddess) before beginning their fishing in New Year from RakshaBandhan day. The present port of Porbandar which is more than thousand years old is one of the oldest ports in Western India, The actual habited area was called Sudamapuri, while PAURVELAKUL was the port established by for trading with South Africa, Middle East and other places. The name of Sudamapuri was used along with Porbandar by the Indian Railways for the Railways Station of Porbandar till as late as 1960. Sudamapuri, as most of the Rajasthanis call this City, is very important in the life of the Kshatriyas of Rajasthan who believe that Sudama and Mirabai were of the same clan and so even today most Rajasthanis come to take the blessing of Sudama after their marriage. 9 Sudamapuri or porbandar is situated at a distance of 105 km. from Junagadh. “Pare” means small population. The population settled on Oceanside is also known as pare Porbandar is famous as birth place of Gandhiji and Sudama. He was special friend of lord Krishna. They both stayed together at sandipni ashram. Sudama had taken “Ayachalavarat” under which he will not ask for anything from anybody. So he has never asked for anything from lord Krishna.
