A special feature of Ahmedabad is the plan of the old city comprising numerous pols, self-contained neighborhoods, sheltering large numbers of peoples. Some of these virtually small villages, traversed by narrow streets, usually terminating in a square with community wells and chabutaras for feeding birds, gates, Cul-de-sacs and secret passages. To experience the glory of Ahmedabad, it is necessary to walk through an old quarter and truly observe the nature of its architecture, its art, religious places, its culture, and traditions.

He waged a war against a Bhil King Ashapallof Ashaval, and after his victory established a city called karnavati on the bank of the river Sabarmati at the site of Modern Ahmedabad. Solanki rule lasted until the thirteenth century when Gujarat came under the control of the Vaghela dynasty of Dwarka. Gujarat was conquered by the sultanate of Delhi at the end of the thirteenth century at the beginning of the fifteenth century an independent sultanate ruled by the Muslim Muzaffarid dynasty was established in Gujarat, and in 14thsultan Ahmed shah renamed karnavati Ahmedabad and established it as his capital, Ahmedabad was the capital of the sultanate for 162 years (1411 – 1573)




Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kalupur (Gujarati: શ્રી સ્વામિનારાયણ મંદિર, અમદાવાદ, Devnagari: श्री स्वामिरायण मन्दिर, अहमदाबाद) is the first Temple of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, a Hindu sect. It is located in Kalupur area of Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat, India. It was built on the instructions of Swaminarayan, the founder of the sect.[1]
As per the will of Swaminarayan, the administration of the Swaminarayan Sampraday is divided into two Gadis (seats) - Nar Narayan Dev Gadi and Laxmi Narayan Dev Gadi. This Temple is the headquarters of the Nar Narayan Dev Gadi.[2]
The land for construction of this first shrine of Swaminarayan Sampraday was gifted by the British Imperial Government. The task of constructing this pilgrimage place was entrusted personally by Swaminarayan to Ananandand Swami. This was the first temple of the Swaminarayan Sampraday constructed as per scriptural norms with intricate carving in pure Burma-teak and constructed with sculptural art.
