Gujarat

Gujarat, situated on India’s western coast, is renowned for its entrepreneurial spirit, historic architecture, and diverse geography—from the salt flats of the Rann of Kutch to the Gir forests, home of the Asiatic lion. Ahmedabad, a UNESCO World Heritage City, and the Sun Temple at Modhera reflect the region’s architectural prowess. The state also boasts the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue, honoring Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

The land of Mahatma Gandhi, Gujarat played a crucial role in India’s freedom movement. Its folk traditions include Garba and Dandiya, especially vibrant during Navratri. Gujarati cuisine, famous for its thalis and snacks like Dhokla and Fafda, is popular across the country. Business magnates like Dhirubhai Ambani and Gautam Adani hail from here. Gujarat continues to balance industrial growth with rich cultural heritage.
