Bharuch was once a small village on the banks of the Narmada River. It was considered to be sacred among sages, and they would come to Bharuch and pray. Excavations near the banks of the river Narmada in Bharuch have revealed many archeological and architectural wonders, mostly temples. Later Bharuch was part of the Mauryas, the Guptas, and Rudrama. As part of the Sultanate of Gujarat, it was subsequently annexed by the Mughals, and finally by the British.
