In the first few rooms of this historical trail, you will embark on a journey of some significant experiences from the Diwan’s Kucheri, which gradually connect to public spaces and other well-known places in Bhavnagar. We have discovered a variety of archives in the Pattani Office collections ranging from everyday state administration to questions of national freedom, to personal inquiries about the family’s health and wellbeing, along with those representing the royal duties. Everything is interconnected! 

Even the approaches in the newly formed Pattani Archives, it’s visual identity and the oral histories of the family members, are deeply influenced by the traces of the past. These intertwined relationships grow wider and stronger from one room to another; or one story to the next. Each room becomes a window into time: at times the past of Bhavnagar, at times the present of Kathiawad, or a reflection of enduring family traditions. Step into this world of personal and regional stories that embody a legacy of ethical governance, inclusive development, and equitable representation. Join us in this world of personal and regional stories, whose roots are found in the generational legacy of ethical administration, inclusive development, and fair representation.
