Ahmedabad

- By NIKITA CHAWLA

Standing tall on the picturesqu­e banks of River Sabarmati, Ahmedabad (also known as Amdavad) grows on you slowly. The largest city in Gujarat has on offer a melange of the old and the contempora­ry, with a mellow Gandhian undercurre­nt. A historical­ly significan­t city that dates back to the era of Mughal and Maratha dynasties, Ahmedabad is now transformi­ng into an urban metropolis and an education hub. Drop by to see why the 600-year-old walled city of Ahmedabad became the first Indian city to be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
