The sun is responsible for most of the damage done to the skin. It causes dryness, wrinkles, and even rashes and blisters.

Bharuch was once but a small village on the banks of the river Narmada River but the rivers inland access to central and northern India and with a location in the sheltered Gulf of Khambat in the era of coastal sea travel grew and prospered as a trading transshipment center and ship building port.
