: Just! dont miss to watch this awesome video about our lovely Ahmedabad. : Located on the banks of river Sabarmati, Ahmedabad is the largest city in the whole state of Gujarat. Founded in the year 1411 by Sultan Ahmed Shah, it served as the capital city of Gujarat. from the year 1960 to 1970, Ahmedabad was incorporated into the Bombay Presidency during the British rule but remained the most important city in the Gujarat region. Over a period of time, Ahmedabad established itself as the home of textile industry and earned the nickname of “the Manchester of the East.” A rising centre of higher education, information technology and scientific industries, Ahmedabad continues to remain one of the important cultural and commercial centers of western India. It is Gujarat’s major city and a startling metropolis with a long history, many remarkable buildings, a fascinating maze of an old quarter, excellent museums, fine restaurants and fabulous night markets. Yet the old-world charm is all but swamped by 21st-century traffic, crowding, pollution and the usual extremes of weather. The old city lies on the east side of the Sabarmati River and used to be surrounded by a 10km-long wall, of which little now remains except 15 formidable gates standing as forlorn islands amid swirling, cacophonous traffic. The new city on the west side of the river, nearly all built in the last 50 years, has wider streets, several major universities, and many middle-class neighborhoods. Ahmedabad and Amdavadis are famous world over for their hospitality and Uttarayan. The spirit of an AMdavadi is something that can only be felt, not described.
