Places to Visit in Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad, the city of Gujarat with full of diversity and variations. It is a true representation of Indian and Gujrati culture and traditions. Ahemdabad, as the seventh largest metropolis is known as the hub of businessmen in India. However, above all, it is known as the land of Bapu, Mahatma Gandhi. It is the place where Gandhiji taught the lesson of non-violence and satyagraha to the whole world. Also, it is among the list of fastest growing cities in India.

Ahmedabad background story

Ahmedabad is the economic capital of Gujarat. It is 32 km to the north of Gandhinagar. Also, it is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River. Ahmedabad was formerly known as Karnavati because its ruler was named Solanki King Karnadeva I in that period. But later the city was attacked and captured by Sultan Ahmed Shah, since then it was renamed Ahmedabad and now people know it as Ahmedabad.

An earlier image of Ahmedabad

Mahmud Begada, the grandson of Sultan Ahmed, took 10 km to strengthen the security of the city. A wall was constructed in the periphery of it, with a total of 12 doors, 189 bastions, and 6000 battalions. However, all these 12 doors have amazing carvings and calligraphy. Also, all these gates also have a balcony. Also, during the Mughal reign, Ahmedabad was conquered by Emperor Akbar but the Mughals left their mark in Shah Jahan.

Gandhi’s influence in the city

During the reign of the British, the city gained considerable prominence from the Indian independence movement run by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji established two ashrams here – Satyagraha Ashram known as Sabarmati Ashram which is situated on the banks of Sabarmati River and Kochrab Ashram, Ahmedabad. Gandhiji started the Salt Satyagraha movement by starting the Dandi March from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. Under British rule, it was called the “Manchester of the East” and after Gandhiji’s Swadeshi movement, the textile industry here grew a lot. At that time, Arvind Mills, Calico Mills also came into existence and produced a large amount of cloth, their indigenous production was quite famous.
