The Mangrol Lighthouse is about 3 Km from Mangrol Bus station. Mangrol is a coastal city located in the Junagadh district of the western state of India, Gujarat. The nearest airport is at Porbandar and the Keshod Railway Station Western Railways, is the nearest railway station. Mangrol was a Princely state prior to independence. There was a port-organisation managing the port management and its development. The first light at Mangrol port was exhibited in 1877 from a masonry column in the port remises. This light was shifted in 1880 on to the top of the newly constructed port Building. It was the oil lamp in an ordinary lantern. A dioptric equipment was provided in 1939, but the light continued to be a fixed light. The revolving optic was introduced at the Lighthouse in 1954. The electricity for the system was generated by agenerating set installed in the same building. The system functioned satisfactorily for more than two decades. During 1977-78 a new Lighthouse at a site about half a km East of the port was planned. The PRB-21 lighting equipment was installed on the new RCC tower and was commissioned into service on 25th March 1986. PRB-21 lighting Equipment has been replaced with MBR-300 Light Equipment as on 05-09-2010.
