To experience the true glory of Ahmedabad, it is absolutely necessary to take the heritage walk which starts fro Kalupur Swaminarayan Temple and end at Jumma Masjid. You get to experience the history, architecture and the fabulous mix of cultures during the walk. It will take you through narrow streets, usually terminating in a square with community wells and chabutaras for feeding birds, gates, numerous pols, self-contained neighborhoods, temples, Cul-de-sacs and secret passages!!
During the walk, you will cover several Pol - gated neighbourhoods that were born out of a sense of community feeling and safety. Usually, every Pol was lived in by people belonging to the same caste, community or profession.
The City of Ahmedabad has some of the finest Indian, and Islamic monuments and exquisite Hindu and Jain temples. Its carved wooden houses are another an unique architectural tradition. And they are beautiful beyond words!
No wonder In July 2017, the 600-year-old walled city of Ahmedabad became the first city in India, to win the UNESCO World Heritage Site tag. Well-Deserved!
So if you are in Gujarat, do not forget to take the walk - it will take you back in the pages of history and our rich glorious past!
I cannot thank @gujarattourism enough for giving me this opportunity to explore this beautifully carved, culturally rich and architecturally diversified city.
