Ahmedabad
 Ahmedabad, established in 1411 by sultan Ahmedshah is the largest city in the prosperous state of Gujarat. The city also features among the most prosperous cities in western India.

The diverse people, traditions, and the colourful festival of Makar Sankranti offer the city a distinct touch.
Ahmedabad celebrates Navaratri Festival with a great zeal for 9 days, and tempts people do the Garba (a very popular traditional dance) for the entire duration of the fests. Men, women and kids in colourful traditional cloths turn the ambience into an exhilarating scene. Food is a vital aspect of life in Gujarat and Ahmedabad is no exception, and one shouldn't miss it.
