About 18 kms from Ambaji in
Sabarkantha district,
Poshina takes one back to
the simple beauty of
traditional village life,
populated by an attractive
combination of colorful
tribal communities of the
Garasias, Bhils and the
rural Rabaris. Poshina is
home to a tribal shrine
where you find the amazing
scene of thousands of
terracotta horses standing
in rows as offerings to the
local goddess. Nearby
villages have similar horses
carved in reverence to her
religion. A visit to the
homes of the potters who
make these striking horses
is an excellent sight into
tribal culture.
In Poshina you find the
Darbargadh Poshina, once a
palace, and now a welcoming
heritage hotel, with huge
gateways, a massive dome,
numerous pillars and arches,
a pleasant courtyard,
gardens, lawns and terraces,
owned by the descendants of
the Chalukyas, whose empire
spread through much of
Gujarat and Central India in
the 12th century. You also
find old Jain sandstone
temples of Parshvanath and
Neminath and an old Shiva
temple. Poshina is host to
the famous Chitra-Vichitra
fair, at the nearby
Gunbhakhari village, a
couple of weeks after Holi.
