Three Villages · Gulf of Khambhat
This Is Where We Come From
Mor · Bhagwa · Delasa
Some of us were born in these villages. Some left as children. Some have not been back in thirty years, and some have only ever seen the place in photographs.
It makes no difference. You are from here.
Wherever you live now — Surat, Leicester, Mombasa, Chicago — you carry something that started on this coast.
Most of us have left. That is not a loss, it is what our families worked for. But a community scattered across four continents needs somewhere to hold its own record. This is that place.
Our history, our villages, our people, our stories — kept together so that no generation has to start from nothing.

Ten thousand years ago, this gulf did not exist.
દસ હજાર વર્ષ પહેલાં આ અખાત અસ્તિત્વમાં ન હતો
Where the water sits today was dry land — a plain connecting this coast to Bhavnagar. Then the Ice Age ended, the seas rose, and it went under. Elders still speak of a time when people walked to Bhavnagar. That sounded like folklore until the maps of the ancient coastline were drawn.
In 2001, researchers found a submerged settlement on the seafloor 27 kilometres from here. The artifacts may be 9,500 years old.

A private network for families looking within the community. Nothing is published on this website — profiles are shared only inside the moderated group, family to family.
Mor Bhagwa: This Is Where We Come From
Twenty chapters, from the ancient shore to the present day.
Our ancestors were not kings or merchants. They were sailors and fishermen, women who carried water and men who read the tides. Their wealth was the sea. Their office was a wooden boat. This book is their record.
