Get Business Class Tickets to Ahmadabad with Fare Buzz
Ahmadabad is located in the Western Indian state of Gujarat. This city which is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River was once the capital of Gujarat state but in 1970 it relinquished that position to the city of Gandhinagar.

Ahmadabad was founded in the 11th Century and was then subsequently ruled by a series of Hindu and Muslim kings until 1818 when it was annexed by the British who made it a part of the Bombay Presidency.Ahmedabad played a vital role in the Indian Independence struggle and the leader of the movement, Mahatama Gandhi established two ashrams here namely the Kochrab Ashram and the Sabarmati Ashram which functioned as major hubs of resistance. Additionally, Gandhi launched several civil disobedience campaigns from Ahmedabad like the Salt Satyagrah which featured the famous Dandi March and the Quit India Movement, as a result of which Ahmedabad like several other Indian cities suffered large scale communal violence during the Indian independence struggle.

Thereafter Ahmedabad was made the capital of the new state of Gujarat. This event took place after Gujarat was separated from Bombay on the 1st of May 1960. This separation was a blessing for the city as it subsequently boomed and saw the development and establishment of several heavy industries and educational and research institutions. Further Ahmedabad also benefited enormously from the economic reforms that were introduced in India in the early 1990’s and today it is a thriving city which is an important hub of economic and commercial activity.

Ahmedabad is equipped with an international airport, the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International which is located at a distance of 15km to the north of city. This adequately outfitted airport plays host to a number of domestic and international airlines like Singapore Airlines, Jet Airways, Emirates, Sri Lankan Airways and British Airways which provide air links to Ahmedabad from various parts of the world. However if you are flying out to Ahmadabad from anywhere in the US, your journey is likely to extend over 20 hours as it is sure to have one or more stops on the way.

Ahmendabad has for years been an important center for the production of textiles in India and its Calico Textile Museum bears witness to this fact. This museum is housed in a traditional haveli( home) which is located within the Sarabhai foundation near the Shahibagh Palace. The exhibits in this museum show case ancient textiles that have been produced in various parts of India over the years. However the museum’s displays are not limited only to textiles as it also has exhibits of furniture, temple artifacts and more.

Like many other Indian cities, Ahmedabad also celebrates various festivals throughout the year but perhaps its most famous event is Navratri which translates as the festival of nine nights.

The festival is dedicated to the goddess Shakti and the goddess is celebrated with elaborate rituals as well as folk dances known as ‘Graba’ and ‘Dandia Raas’ which are native to Gujarat. These dances are performed for the entire duration of the festival and feature much enthusiastic public participation as they usually take place on public grounds which are beautifully anointed with flowers and fairy lights.
