0.04 sec. |
Khambhat, Gulf ofor Gulf of CambayInlet, Arabian Sea, on the western coast of India, southeast of the Kathiawar Peninsula. It is 120 mi (190 km) wide at its widest but narrows rapidly. It receives many rivers, including the Tapti and Mahi. Its orientation to the southwestern monsoon winds produces a high tidal range. All its ports have suffered from silting caused by tides and flood torrents. On its eastern side are Bharuch, one of India's oldest ports, and Surat. At the gulf's head is the city of Khambhat (Cambay; pop., 2001: 80,452), which was mentioned by Marco Polo as a busy port. How to thank TFD for its existence?
