Surat finds mention in the Mahabharata
when Lord Krishna stopped here during his journey from Mathura to Dwarka
with his cows. According to the Sanskrit scriptures, this area was under
the control of the western Chalukyas in AD 610 and remained under Hindu
kings till 12th century when a general of Qutub-ud-din Aibak captured
the city. The wealth and prosperity of the city started in the 12th
century when Parsis first settled here. Akbar captured the city in 1573
after a long siege and it became an important Mughal trading point.
Arabian traders started calling this place Bunder-E-Khubsoorat (the
beautiful port), which later shortened to Surat.
In 1612, the British established their trading factory here, soon to be
followed by the Dutch and French. Due to political and climatic problems
and growing importance of Mumbai, Surat lost its prominence. In 1852,
Surat became the first municipality of Gujarat and gradually it became a
major business city famous for its textile industry.
Surat circuit consists of the old historic city of Surat, India's
ancient trading centre. Since long traders from across the seven seas
had links with this region. The Saputara and the Dangs regions are
filled with tribal villages where you can witness the lifestyle,
traditions of the indigenous people living the life their ancestors
lived years ago.
