Ahmedabad – The Walled City of Culture and Innovation
A UNESCO World Heritage City, Ahmedabad is Gujarat’s largest city and a dynamic blend of heritage, textile legacy, architectural grandeur, and entrepreneurial energy. Situated on the banks of the Sabarmati River, Ahmedabad was founded in the 15th century by Sultan Ahmed Shah and has evolved into a powerhouse of trade, education, and cultural innovation. The heart of Ahmedabad lies in its old city, a labyrinth of pols (traditional housing clusters), vibrant bazaars, centuries-old stepwells, and intricately carved Havelis. The Jama Masjid, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, and Bhadra Fort are stunning examples of Indo-Islamic architecture that tell stories of the city’s glorious past. At the spiritual and cultural center stands the Sabarmati Ashram, the former residence of Mahatma Gandhi. Here, one can walk the same riverbanks where Gandhi initiated the Dandi March. The Ashram today is a peaceful oasis, echoing with the ideals of simplicity and nonviolence. Ahmedabad is also famous for its vibrant street food from khaman, fafda, and jalebi to world-famous Gujarati thalis. The city is also a hub for textiles and design, home to the prestigious National Institute of Design (NID) and Calico Museum of Textiles. As a modern metropolis, Ahmedabad has also embraced development through the Sabarmati Riverfront Project, Science City, and rapid infrastructure growth, without losing its cultural essence.
