Ahmedabad
Founded by Sultan Ahmad Shah in 1411 AD, Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat, has grown into one
of the most important modern cities of India. Straddling the Sabarmati river, this prosperous city of
six million is a delight for archeologists, anthropologists, architects, historians, sociologists, traders,
bargain hunters, and plain tourists.
The mosques and mausoleums in the once walled city blend Muslim and Hindu styles of architecture.
The Sidi Bashir mosque, with its 'Jhulta minars' (shaking minarets) continues to amaze and puzzle
casual visitors and serious scholars alike. There are several stunning Hindu and Jain temples
in and around Ahmedabad. The step wells with their intricate carved stone pillars are exquisite.
At the 55-year old Calico Museum of Textiles, one of the best textile museums in the world, one
can see and marvel at samples of the finest fabrics and weaving machines produced in different
parts of India since early 16th century.
