About Gujrat
 The
most convenient
entry point into
Gujarat is through
the metropolis of
Ahmedabad. The city
contains some very
fine museums, the
Calico Museum of
Textiles being
considered among the
world’s finest.
Ahmedabad’s walled
city is a living
testimony to its
heritage of crafts
as women walk by in
dazzling embroidered
garments and
flashing ethnic
silver jewellery.
Traditional
Ahmedabad combines
mosques of inspired
workmanship, wooden
Jain temples, unique
stone stepwells and
houses with ornately
carved wooden
balconies and window
screens.

 Beaches
A 1600km. long
coastline, the
longest in India,
binds the state of
Gujarat from the
west. It is dotted
with some really
fine beaches like
those of
Ahmedpur-Mandvi,
Kutch-Mandvi,
Chorwad and Gopnath.
The coast was also a
historical centre
with interesting
Portugese forts,
shore temples,
princely port cities
and beach palaces.

 Fairs & Festivals
Gujarat could well
be termed the 'Land
of Festivals and
Fairs' with almost
3,500 of them being
celebrated in
different parts of
the state every
year. Like elsewhere
in India, the
festivals and fairs
of Gujarat revolve
around an occasion -
be it the turn of a
season, the time for
harvesting a golden
field, or a
religious event from
India's extensive
and rich
mythological
traditions.
