Ahmedabad - Travel Tricky

Ahmedabad Tourism

Ahmedabad is a city in the Indian state of Gujarat, the largest city and former capital of the western state of Gujarat during British colonialism. The city has a rich cultural and historic heritage from its Muslim, Hindu, and Jain communities. Ahmedabad is also an information technology hub in India, with many software companies establishing their headquarters here.
Modern-day Ahmedabad was built by Rao Khengarji III (1638–1641), who shifted his capital from the nearby Palanpur to the present location in 1611. He constructed a fort on a hill known as Bhadra citadel and planned the city’s layout around it. The Kankaria Lake was built in 1451 by Sultan Qutb-ud-Din. It is the largest lake in the city within a radius of 2km. The lake is spread over an area of 9.7 hectares, while its lakefront is around 1 kilometer long. The lakefront comprises public gardens, historic buildings, and parks.
