"Home to the immortal name of Gandhi, Ahmedabad (Amdavad) serves you with its delectable Gujarati food, few of the most colorful textile prints and designs and Dandiya, which is one of the most extravagant dance festivals in the country."
Ahmedabad (Amdavad), the largest city in the state of Gujarat, is often mistaken to be the capital of the state. Laden with rich history, the city not only offers few of the most famous Hindu and Islamic architectural marvels such as the Akshardham Temple and the Jama Masjid, but it also boasts of one of the very few drive-in theaters in the country. Hub of the textile industry, the city, known to be one of the major business centers of the country, springs to a different life with the famous Dandiya Masti during the Navratris.
