Sihor

Sihor is a town in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, India, west of Bhavnagar city. From the 13th century it was a seat of the Gohil Rajputs of southern Saurashtra, until Bhavsinhji I moved his capital to the new port of Bhavnagar in 1723. It retains an old palace of the Gohils and is known for its copper and brass work.
