Welcome to
Ahmedabad
One of the most liveliest cities in India. A visit to Ahmedabad is a great way to
discover Gujarat.
Ahmedabad was built by Sultan Ahmed Shah to serve as his capital in 1411 A .D. While
returning from one of his campaigns the young Sultan Ahmed Shah impressed with the scenic
surroundings and climate of the town of Ashawal undertook the building of his new capital
with a fort and twelve gates and named it Ahmedabad. While you can only see the ramparts
of the 600 year old Bhadra fort, almost all the twelve gates with the exception of one
have withstood the ravages of time and man.
If you have been to Ahmedabad before you will want to come again. If you are coming
soon, Welcome. Ahmedabad has something for everyone. You will be glad you made it.
Variety is its fascination
From the hustle and bustle of C. G. Road in the heart of Ahmedabad to the quite retreat
of Sabarmati Ashram. From the mute grandeur of the Shaking Minarets to the noisy
prosperity of the countrys largest textile empires, Ahmedabads fascination is
its variety. Old and new stand side by side. The modern and ecclectic mix with history and
tradition offering something for everyone. There is nothing like a perfect time to visit
Ahmedabad. Starting with Makar Sankrantis kite flying in January, the masti
continues only to peak at the nine day long Navratri with Dandiya and Ras Garba in
November followed by the dazzle and glitter of Diwali festivities which last a whole
month.
No matter what time of the year you come, there is so much to see and so much to do.
