A museum built in the middle of the Ranmal Lake in Lakhota Fort is attracting scores of visitors to Jamnagar

The Lakhota Museum displays a collection of old English and Portuguese firearms, weapons, sculptures, and artefacts that date back to the early 9th century AD.

"A lot of big cannons belonging to the British era are displayed here. Some of these date back 600 years. All these cannons reached this place from Portugal by sea,"

The museum's walls have a number of frescoes that depict the exploits of the area's rulers.
