The westernmost point of India lies west of Ghuar Mota in Gujarat, located at approximately 23.67°N latitude and 68.52°E longitude. Ghuar Mota is situated in the Kutch region, near the Arabian Sea. Nearby towns include Koteshwar, Mudia, Panadra, Pipar, Ber Mota, and Lakhpat, all contributing to the region’s geographic and cultural identity.
Kutch was once a princely state under British India and is known for its unique topography. During monsoons, much of the area transforms into an island-like landform, resembling a tortoise, hence the name "Katchua." The climate is extreme, with temperatures ranging from 20°C in winters to 45°C in summers, making it one of India's most rugged regions.
