Located 125 km from Bhuj at almost the western point of India, Narayan Sarovar in Kutch is the most ancient and pious place for Hindus. The sarovars at Narayan Sarovar are rain-fed bodies of fresh water situated just 2 kms from the salty water of the Gulf of Kutch. Narayan Saroval is said to be one of the five holy lakes of Hindus in India other than Mansarovar in Tibet, Pampa in Karnataka, Bhuvaneswar in Orissa and Pushkar in Rajasthan. There is a temple complex here famous for its ancient architecture with many temples including that of Shri Trikamraiji, Laxminarayan, Govardhannathji etc.

The construction of palace started in year in 1920 and was completed in year 1929.The palace is built with red sandstone. It has all the elements of Rajput architecture and draws largely on the plan of palaces of Orchha and Datia. The central high dome on the pillars, the Bengal domes on the sides, the windows with colored glass, carved stone 'jalis', domed bastions at the corners, extended porch and other exquisitely stone-carved elements, make the palace worth visiting. The palace is set in the middle of well-laid gardens with water channels and marble fountains. The carved stone works of Jalis, Jharokas, Chhatris, Chhajas, murals and many other artistic stone carvings, colored glass work on windows and door panels all have been done by the architect and craftsman from places like Jaipur, Rajasthan, Bengal and Saurashtra, and local Kutchi artisan community, the Mistris of Kutch and Suthars. The mixture and mingling of architect and style of different regions of India, as such, can be distinctly seen in design & architect of the Vijaya Vilas Palace.The balcony at the top affords a superb view of the surrounding area. The tiny intricate windows gives one feeling to be out in open, through which cool sea wind passes out
