Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil, the princess of Bhavnagar, is known for her passion for art and heritage. However, few people know she also likes cooking, a hobby she developed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Gohil grew up in Mumbai and spent most of her childhood in the city. After completing her education, she returned to Bhavnagar, where she has been deepening her connection to her roots. This connection extends beyond her family's historical role in shaping Bhavnagar and includes exploring her culinary heritage.
