'''Bharuch''' ({{audio|Bharuch.ogg|listen}}) is a city at the mouth of the [[Narmada|Narmada River]] in [[Gujarat]] in the [[western India|western part]] of India. Bharuch is the administrative headquarters of [[Bharuch District]].

The city of Bharuch and its surroundings have been settled since times of antiquity. It was a ship building centre and [[sea port]] in the [[compass|pre-compass]] coastal trading routes for trading with the Occident and the East, perhaps as far back as the days of earliest trade connections. The route made use of the regular and predictable [[monsoon]] winds or relied on [[galley]]s. Many goods from the Far East and Far West (the famed [[Spice trade|Spices]] and [[Silk Road|Silk]] trade) were shipped there during the annual monsoon winds, making it a terminus for several key land-sea [[trade routes]]. Bharuch was known to the Greeks, the [[Parthian Empire]], in the [[Roman Empire]], the Chinese, and in other Western and Eastern centres of civilisation through the end of the European [[Middle Ages]] and other the middle ages of the world.<ref name="Periplus of the Erythraean Sea">[[Periplus of the Erythraean Sea]]</ref><ref name="depts.washington.edu">[http://depts.washington.edu/silkroad/texts/periplus/map/periplus_map.html Periplus of the Erythraean Sea].
