Kem cho? (How are you? — Gujarati)
How locals say hello in Ahmedabad
Winter (November–February)
Ahmedabad is almost entirely vegetarian — don't expect beef or pork. The old city's Pols (historic residential clusters) are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and best explored on foot.
Legend says Sultan Ahmad Shah I was encamped on the Sabarmati River banks in 1411 when he saw a rabbit turn on and chase a hunting dog — taking it as an omen that even the weak become strong here. He named his new capital Ahmedabad after himself. The city grew into one of India's great textile centres, and Mahatma Gandhi chose it as his base for the independence campaign, launching the Dandi Salt March from his Sabarmati Ashram in 1930. In 2017 it became India's first UNESCO World Heritage City.
Ahmedabad was India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (2017). Mahatma Gandhi launched the Dandi Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram here in 1930 — you can visit the ashram today.
