Willingdon Crescent ( Darbar Garh) (Jamnagar)

 retail shopping center, historical building

Across the road from Darbar Gadh is Willingdon Crescent, a product of Jam Ranjitsinhji’s attempt to remove the congested slum of then Nawanagar, and replace it with a more modern structure, with flourish and pomp, in keeping with his European infactuation. In the center is a statue of Jam Digvijaysinhji on horseback.

The crescent is now a shopping area, so if you’re looking for the traditional bandhani fabric that Jamnagar is famous for, for example, and find yourself without time to purchase it directly from the artist, you can definitely buy it here. And if you’ve bought more items than will fit in your bags, you can also buy another suitcase, such is the surprising range of products in the crescent.
