One to two days covers Rajkot well. Spend a morning at Kaba Gandhi No Delo, the Watson Museum and the old bazaars, then an evening of street food. Add a day for Aji Dam, the cricket stadium at Khandheri or a ride toward Jamnagar or Junagadh.

Yes. Kaba Gandhi No Delo, the house where Gandhi's family lived from 1881, is now a museum called Gandhi Smriti, with photographs and panels on his life. It stands in the old city, close to Alfred High School, where he studied, now the Mahatma Gandhi Museum.

Rajkot keeps a long midday break, a habit locals trace back about two centuries. Many shops, offices and even museums close over lunch, roughly from noon until about four, then reopen into the evening, when markets and food stalls fill up again.
