Old Ahmedabad (Kalupur).
With both a booming economy and population, much of Ahmedabad is filled with new buildings and businesses. But like most Indian cities, Ahmedabad’s true colors shine through in the old city center, a bustling maze of streets, food carts, and shoppers.

This is the place where migratory birds visit each winter. Can you notice birds in this pic?

Ahmedabad is the largest city and former capital of Gujarat. It is the administrative headquarters of the Ahmedabad district and the seat of the Gujarat High Court. With a population of more than 6.3 million and an extended population of 7.2 million, it is the sixth largest city and seventh largest metropolitan area of India. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, 30 km from the state capital Gandhinagar.
Ahmedabad has emerged as an important economic and industrial hub in India. It is the second largest producer of cotton in India, and its stock exchange is the country's second oldest. The effects of liberalisation of the Indian economy have energized the city's economy towards tertiary sector activities like commerce, communication and construction.

Met de tuktuk rijden we naar de Shree Swami Narayan tempel en de Sidi Saiyyad moskee in het ochtendlicht. Een vriendelijk gezin liet zich fotograferen. We eindigen de dag aan de vrijdag moskee Jami Masjid met een heel grote binnenplaats en rondom een galerij, verder wandelen we naar het inmiddels verlichte Sidi Saiyyad moskee.

Jali work.
The Sidi Sayed Mosque in Ahmedabad is one such famous and ancient mosque of the city.
The Mosque of Sidi Sayed or rather the Sidi Sayed Mosque in Ahmedabad is situated close to the famous Lal Darwaja. In fact, the mosque is located inside Bhadra, a fortified bastion that was built by Sultan Ahmed Shah in the year 1411 A.D. The elegant mosque was built by Sidi Sayed, a slave of Sultan Ahmed Shah. The mosque is famous all over the country because of its fantastic architecture and exquisite Jali work or stone tracery. The mosque is built of yellow stone and is an example of early Muslim architecture. The Jali work found on the windows of this mosque are worth admiring. The intricate and delicate carvings clearly highlight the talent of the craftsmen of the olden days. The stone has been carefully carved in order to create the filigree effect. The intricate carvings are fine examples of India's rich architectural heritage.
The Sidi Sayed Mosque in Ahmedabad is particularly famous for the twin stone windows. The Jali work on the windows depicts palm trees with curved tendrils. The carvings are truly beautiful and praiseworthy. The Jali work is found in all the ten semi-circular windows of the mosque. The carved windows found on the western wall of the mosque are the most beautiful of them all. The carved screens depict floral patterns and designs.

After visiting Mumbai I wanted to see a less touristy city in India on my way to New Delhi. So I found there was a night train leaving Mumbai 9:50pm and arriving to Ahmedabad 6:40am. Spent the whole day there before catching another overnight train to Udaipur next. Ahmedabad is a mostly Muslim centre, the major city of the state of Gujarat, busy with congested traffic but I was surprised with the friendliness of its people, especially kids. This photo was taken soon after I left the train station on my day long walks with no set schedule, enjoying the place, walking the back streets and talking to people. Two of the boys asked me to take their photo, the third one was a bit shy but ended up joining in as he saw I was going to take it. The girls stayed away but smiling with interest, then the boys called them to join in, they hesitated but in seconds run to join in and this is the result. It is one of my fondest memories of Ahmedabad.
Após visitar Mumbai eu queria conhecer uma cidade menos turística na Índia no meu trajeto para Nova Deli. Descobri que havia um trem leito saindo de Mumbai as 21:50 e chegando a Ahmedabad as 6:40 da manhã. Ali passei o dia todo, tomando outro trem a noite seguinte para Udaipur. Ahmedabad é um centro histórico muçulmano, a cidade mais populosa do estado de Gujarat, com seu trânsito congestionado, mas o que mais me surpreendeu foi a natureza amável do povo, especialmente as crianças. Tirei esta foto logo após sair da estação, começando meu dia de descobrimento da cidade, caminhando sem trajeto estipulado, pelas ruelas e vielas, conversando com as pessoas na rua. Dois garotos me pediram que tirasse a foto deles, um terceiro parecia um pouco receoso mas acabou se juntando aos demais quando notou que eu ia tirar a foto. As meninas ficaram olhando à distância mas sorrindo e atentas ao que estava acontecendo; então os meninos chamaram para que elas também viessem, ficaram um pouco acanhadas mas em uns momentos correram e se juntaram aos meninos, e esse é o resultado. É uma das lembranças mais ternas que tenho de Ahmedabad.

Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, Gujrat
Sabarmati Ashram, formerly known as 'Satyagraha Ashram", situated in Ahmedabad at the Kocharab Bungalow of Jivanlal Desai, a barrister. Later on it was shifted to the banks of Sabarmati river and then it came to be known as 'Sabarmati Ashram'. Gandhi stayed at the Ashram from 1915 to 1933 later on the Ashram was disbanded. The Ashram is a witness to many important historical events.
"This is the right place for our activities to carry on the search for Truth and develop Fearlessness- for on one side, are the iron bolts of the foreigners, and on the other, thunderbolts of Mother Nature".- This is how Gandhiji described the site of Sabarmati
Ashram when he first visited the place for assessing if it was suitable for carrying out his work.
The site of 36 acres was a waste land full of snakes, but the order was not to kill them.
The Satyagraha Ashram, later renamed as Harijan Ashram, was started in all earnest with a two-fold purpose- one was to carry on the search for Truth, and the other was to create a non-violent group of workers, who would organize and help to secure freedom for the country.
