The West Coast State of Gujarat is not on popular tourist itineraries of foreign and Indian tourists. Although it is easy to travel to Gujarat during your trips to Mumbai or Rajasthan, few people pause to explore this very interesting part of India. Gandhinagar is the capital city of Gujarat. It is India's second well planned city after Chandigarh. Makara Sankranthi is a big festival of Gujarat. The birth place of Mahatma Gandhi,the father of the nation.

State of Vibrant Culture: Gujarat covers an area of 196, 024 sq. km which is traditionally divided into three zones - the eastern mainland that includes the cities Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara; the Kathiawar peninsula better known as Saurashtra with its headquarters at Rajkot and Kutch with its most important town Bhuj. The state offers its visitors fabulous offbeat possibilities of exploring Gujarat's vibrant culture and history. Here one scarcely knows where legend ends and history begins.

Gandhi Ashram: The most distinguished son of Gujarat was Mahatma Gandhi who won for India its independence through non-violence. His Ashram (retreat) on the banks of the Sabarmati River near Ahmedabad reveals these tuff this man was made of - his austere mode of living and his great ambition to free his country from the foreign yoke. His spinning wheel symbolized India's goal of self-reliance and independence.
