Bharuch Railway Station
Bharuch today is a large seaport city of more than one million inhabitants and a municipality in Bharuch district in Gujarat. As a trading depot, the limitations of coastal shipping made it a regular terminus via several trade routes of the spice and silk trading between East and West, so that it became known by various names such as Bharakuccha, Bhrigu Kaksha, Bhroach, as well as Bhrauch. Bharuch has always been prosperous due to its location on the Narmada River.
